It's reasonable. Not to DO it, of course, but to look for artic(k)les....
Since there is no reason why there WOULDN'T be such an assignment in a Crime class,
and since it WOULD be original (if not unfortunately titillating)
to find a tickle - crime of this sort to use for a class paper --
(the hell with those who weren't decent enough to PM you or original enough to think of this if/when they were taking a class that allowed for creative research...
🙄 )
Good for you for making your studies more interesting. I once put up a thread about real psych experiments in my college --- I never found out if they went through with it, since I chickened out,
or if the "experiment" was actually just to see who'd participate *knowing (thinking) tickling was involved ---
(that's why I put up the thread, to see if anyone would recognize that much & maybe let me know...??)
But there were definitely ticklephiles in my Psych Dept. who were allowed to at least "frame" their experiments within this topic, with who knows what excuse....
😛 Whether or not it was actually done is (still a mystery
🙁 ) Although, the way that grad student looked at me, I suspect there was more to it... Maybe that was also his/their way of seeing who on campus would be *willing to be tickled... He was cute & seemed nice too... Oh well.
There are more than enough (at least a few?) threads about guys getting arrested, here, for breaking & entering & tickling/fondling feet, or doing so on the train, or in a park, or whatever ----
How many times have I read here, "this jerk gives us a bad name..."
This shouldn't be a huge problem.
So just do a "search" here or on Google for articles, or at your library online,
on whatever terms would work
(arrest + tickling, burglary + tickling, pervert, kidnapping, etc.)
and see what's listed HERE under those terms, in "GENERAL/TICKLING DISCUSSION" or "TRUE STORIES" or "POLITICS" etc....
I know I've seen such threads...

Shoe fetish man tagged for attack
Mark Barrie admitted spending hours looking in the windows of shoe shops
A man with a shoe fetish who ripped a high heel from a teenager's foot has been electronically tagged.
Mark Barrie, 35, from Perth, will wear the device on his ankle for three months and will not be allowed out between 2200 BST and 1000 BST.
He was also placed on probation and his name has been added to the sex offenders register.
Barrie admitted attacking the 18-year-old in January because he was "sexually excited" by the footwear.
He targeted her in broad daylight in front of other shoppers in Perth.
He claimed he had gone into a "trance" before pouncing on his victim and lying on the ground with his arms locked around her ankles.
'Out of character'
Barrie grabbed one of her shoes but dropped it and ran off when the teenager screamed for help.
After a fairly lengthy police interview he eventually admitted that he was the man responsible.
The kitchen-fitter previously revealed at Perth Sheriff Court that he would spend hours gazing in the windows of shoe shops.
When he was asked if his fetish was sexual, Barrie replied: "Yes, it does stem from that. It's obvious people like what they like - and this is part of my psyche."
Solicitor Ross Porter, defending, had told the court that Barrie had a long-term girlfriend and had acted "out of character" by grabbing the teenager.
He added that his client wanted to express how sorry he was for the attack.
