The truth, the half-truth, and nothing like the truth: reconceptualizing false allegations of rape (2012)
Journal Article
Saunders, C. L. (2012). The truth, the half-truth, and nothing like the truth: reconceptualizing false allegations of rape. British Journal of Criminology, 52(6), https://doi.org/10.1093/bjc/azs036

There is a longstanding dispute between criminal justice professionals on the one hand and researchers and commentators on the other regarding the prevalence of false allegations of rape. Prevalence, however, is contingent upon definition. If the var... Read More about The truth, the half-truth, and nothing like the truth: reconceptualizing false allegations of rape.

Journal Article
Kasprzyk, A. M., & Nill, B. (2012). Reflexive polytopes of higher index and the number 12. Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 19(3), Article P9

We introduce reflexive polytopes of index l as a natural generalisation of the notion of a reflexive polytope of index 1. These l-reflexive polytopes also appear as dual pairs. In dimension two we show that they arise from reflexive polygons via a ch... Read More about Reflexive polytopes of higher index and the number 12.
