A survey conducted during February through May 1997 gathered information on female college students’ experiences of sexual victimization since school began in the fall of 1996 and compared findings with rape estimates taken from a sample of college women who completed a survey based on the National Crime Victimization Survey.
Abstract
A joint report from BJS and the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) that explores the prevalence and nature of sexual assault occurring at colleges throughout the nation. The study found that about 3 percent of college women experienced a completed and/or attempted rape during the current college year. The study also included a comparison component conducted using methodology similar to that of the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) conducted by BJS. The report was authored under grants from BJS and NIJ.
