FYI: Sexual Assault in College
by: skylar mabe
Rape victimization is a potential problem of large proportion and of public policy, reports the National College Women Sexual Victimization.
A completed and/or attempted rape happens to 3 percent of college during a year at college reports the National Institute of Justice and the Bureau of Justice. College campuses host large concentrations of young women who are at greater risk for rape and other forms of sexual assault than women in the general population or in a comparable age group. Based on their findings, Bonnie Fisher and her colleagues estimate that the women at a college that has 10,000 female students could experience more than 350 rapes a year.
• 1.7 percent reported being coerced to have sex
• 1.7 percent were victims of attempted rape
• 13 percent have been stalked since the beginning of the school year
• 60 percent of completed rapes took place on campus at the victims residence
• 31 percent occurred in other living quarters on campus
• 10 percent occurred at a fraternity
• At a college of 10,000 female students approximately 350 of those women could experience rape
