According to a study conducted by the National Crime Justice Service (NCJRS), founded by the DOJ, it is estimated that the women at a college that has 10,000 female students could experience more than 350 rapes a year.  Most victims knew the person who sexually victimized them. For both completed and attempted rapes, about 9 in 10 offenders were known to the victim. Most often, a boyfriend, ex-boyfriend, classmate, friend, acquaintance, or coworker sexually victimized the women.

With regard to date rape, 12.8 percent of completed rapes, 35.0 percent of attempted rapes, and 22.9 percent of threatened rapes took place on a date.
