Kanin of [[Purdue University]] investigated the incidences of false rape allegations made to the police in one small [[Urban area|urban]] community between 1978 and 1987. He states that unlike those in many larger jurisdictions, this police department had the resources to "seriously record and pursue to closure all rape complaints, regardless of their merits." He further states each investigation "always involves a serious offer to polygraph the complainants and the suspects." and "the complainant must admit that no rape had occurred. She is the sole agent who can say that the rape charge is false." The falseness of the allegations was not decided by the police, Dr. Kanin, nor upon physical or testimonial evidence. The number of false rape allegations in the studied period was 45; this was 41% of the 109 total complaints filed in this period.<ref>Kanin, Eugene J., "[http://web.archive.org/web/20061229091333/http://www.sexcriminals.com/library/doc-1002-1.doc False Rape Allegations]", ''Archives of Sexual Behavior'', Vol. 23, No. 1, Feb 1994, p. 81.

In the September/October 2007 issue of the Sexual Assault Report he states "Kanin's 1994 article on false allegations is a provocative opinion piece, but it is not a scientific study of the issue of false reporting of rape. It certainly should never be used to assert a scientific foundation for the frequency of false allegations." He further states "[ Dr. Kanin] simply reiterates the opinions of the police officers who concluded that the cases in question were 'false allegations.'" Lasik cites page 13 of Investigating Sexual Assaults from the International Association of Chiefs of Police which says polygraph tests for sexual assault victims are contraindicated in the investigation process and that their use is "based on the misperception that a significant percentage of sexual assault reports are false,". Lasik goes on that "It is noteworthy that the police department from which Kanin derived his data used or threatened to use the polygraph in every case… The fact that it was the standard procedure of this department provides a window on the biases of the officers who conducted the rape investigations, biases that were then echoed in Kanin's unchallenged reporting of their findings." | | Criticism of Dr. Kanin's report include Dr. David Lisak, an associate professor of psychology and director of the Men's Sexual Trauma Research Project at the University of Massachusetts, Boston.

It could be rewritten into more of a summary paragraph with a few quotes, both good and bad.

Some festivals last for a single day or less, others for several. The calendars mark the passage of time as sacred, communal and official. They also represent the celebrations, traditions and values of specific classes and occupations, each with its own traditions and values. For example, [[Saturnalia]] ends the year and universaly allows a temporary reversal of ''status quo'' between master and slave: [[Parilia]] begins the pastoral year and involves both "private" cult and the state [[Vestal Virgins|Vestals]]. [[Compitalia]] is agricultural, local, plebeian and servile but its cult to the Lares has a state counterpart. Two [[Equiria]] festivals are dedicated to Mars.
