The two found within 1,300 colleges nationwide that the sexual assault rate is lower at schools that ban alcohol and have regulations on opposite sex overnight stays in dorms. They calculated the amount of campus sexual assaults within each college for every 1,000 female students who have a dorm room. Then, they collected data of all of the same colleges that have dry campuses. Lastly, they gathered dorm policies of the colleges and separated them into two categories. The categories are the colleges that ban opposite sex overnight guests and those that allowed it in some way. There has been an increase in sexual assault by 3.1 to 4.4 times higher at permissive colleges than colleges who have restrictive policies. The data collected by the authors effectively proves their mission
