Suarez, Eliana; Gadalla, Tahany M. – Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2010
Although male rape is being reported more often than before, the majority of rape victims continue to be women.

Burnett, Ann; Mattern, Jody L.; Herakova, Liliana L.; Kahl, David H., Jr.; Tobola, Cloy; Bornsen, Susan E. – Journal of Applied Communication Research, 2009
Previous studies suggest that college campuses foster a rape culture in which date rape (most commonly, rape of women) is an accepted part of campus activity (Buchwald, Fletcher, & Roth, 1993; Sanday, 2007). In focus groups at a Midwestern university, researchers asked students about rape as they experienced it or knew about it on campus. The…
