But see my comment on the question: it is asking if the study existed, not if the claim is accurate. I generally prefer the other sort of question, because... I dunno, it seems to be more about learning the basic truth than trying to catch someone in a lie. | |

There's also probably survivorship bias - chances are those who left the profession may have had different rates of assault than those who stayed. | |
