In November 2008, the media reported on young people's attitudes towards violence against women covered in a study undertaken by Flood for the White Ribbon foundation, [1] citing that one in three boys believed it acceptable to physically harm a girl as an example.[2][3][4]Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).. Flood notified the media that this detail in the report was based on an error in transposing one finding from the original National Crime Prevention survey of 2001,[5] corrections were issued and the articles reprinted to reflect the same conclusions, but that one in seven boys believed it acceptable to force a girl to have sex as an example.[6][4]
