Hypothesis
Subsistence type and marriage type will affect the prevalence rate for rape; this relationship will differ between societies where arranged marriages are prevalent and societies where it is not (p.195)."
Note
Rape was found to be either absent or rate in about 60% of societies, with the respective rating in arranged marriage societies to be about 30% (p.197). "The odds ratio indicated that arranged married societies were 14 times more likely to classify as 'Common' than 'Absent or Rare,' as opposed to the rest of the societies (p.197-8)."
