Factors associated with women's risk of rape in the military environment.
Sadler AG, Booth BM, Cook BL, Doebbeling BN. Am J Ind Med 2003 Mar; 43(3):262-73 BACKGROUND: Health hazards specific to women workers have not been
adequately documented. This study assessed military environmental factors
associated with rape occurring during military service, while controlling
for pre-military trauma experiences. METHODS: A national cross-sectional
survey of 558 women veterans serving in Vietnam or in subsequent eras was
obtained through structured telephone interviews. RESULTS: Rape was reported
by 28% (n = 151) of participants, with consistent rates found across eras.
Military environmental factors were associated with increased likelihood of
rape, including: sexual harassment allowed by officers (P < 0.0001),
unwanted sexual advances on-duty (P < 0.0001) and in sleeping quarters (P <
0.0001). CONCLUSION: Violence towards military women has identifiable risk
factors. Work and living environments where unwanted sexual behaviors
occurred were associated with increased odds of rape. Officer leadership
played an important role in the military environment and safety of women.
Assailant alcohol and/or drug abuse at time of rape was notable.
Interventions and policies based on modifiable environmental risk factors
are needed to increase protection for women in the workplace.

McCarrick Decries Md. Child Abuse Bill Cardinal Questions Effect on Confessional By Jo Becker and Caryle Murphy 2/22/03 "Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick is taking aim at the Maryland General Assembly, charging that a legislative proposal that would require priests to report suspected child abuse would violate the sanctity of the confessional. "If this bill were to pass, I shall instruct all priests in the Archdiocese of Washington who serve in Maryland to ignore it," McCarrick wrote in a column in the latest issue of the Catholic Standard. "...On this issue, I will gladly plead civil disobedience and willingly -- if not gladly -- go to jail." http://www.washingtonpost.com
