Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

More than 300,000 women and almost 93,000 men are raped annually,

according to the National Violence Against Women Survey (NVAWS).

Researchers found differences in rape prevalence relating to age,

gender, and race/ethnicity, as well as other factors such as whether

victims were first raped as minors. Despite widespread public education,

rape remains a largely underreported crime; and despite increased levels

of research over the past few decades, significant gaps remain in

understanding rape victimization. 

 

 

This National Institute of Justice Special Report takes a detailed look
at the NVAWS findings and the

researchers' recommendations for future research.

 

The report is available online at the NIJ Web site at:
