Extent, Nature, and Consequences of Rape Victimization: Findings From the National Violence Against Women Survey

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.  This NIJ Special Report takes a detailed look at the NVAWS findings and the researchers' recommendations for future research.
