 However David Lisak, an associate professor of psychology and director of the Men's Sexual Trauma Research Project at the University of Massachusetts Boston states that "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".He further states that Kanin's study has significantly poor systematic methodology and had no independent definition of a false report.Instead, Kanin classified reports that the police department classified as false also as false.
