US college rape statistics for report?

Here are some resources to look into. Check their references, too! The college vs. prison rape things sounds really interesting!

It is estimated that almost 25 percent of college women have been victims of rape or attempted rape since the age of 14.

A national survey of college women found that 1 in 10 women were raped, and 1 in 3 women were victims of unwanted sexual contact in their lifetimes.

College women are more at risk for rape and other forms of sexual assault than women the same age but not in college.

The thing is, a lot of rapes/assaults go unreported, and of those that are reported to the colleges, a lot of them get covered up. Sometimes a lot of alcohol is involved, and the victim in the assault/rape thought that she could trust the rapist/assailant. However, a drunk or drugged person cannot give consent.

Most of those rapes are because they get to drunk to not look at their drinks so men can put drugs in it,(still isn't their fault but you need to learn how to take care of yourself) or they get drunk and regret having sex.

However if someone was just walking down the street carrying books and got raped that is when I think something needs to be done.

Consent under the influence of alcohol/drugs is not valid which is why those numbers are so high.

College isn't a rape-fest.
