Department of Justice study: ~4% of college women raped each year, ~10% sexually assaulted

Brigham Young University, in the link in #184, used the very survey developed by DoJ, the one I linked to in post #1. So, the numbers are comparable; it’s the same survey! Except BYU evidently added some Mormon-specific questions about their faith.

Of the 6.5% of female survey respondents who said they were sexually assaulted, we can’t tell from the report how many said they were raped, because they didn’t break down the numbers the way I’d like. It was a minimum of 1.1%, but probably more like 1.5% to 2.5%. In other words, around 1 in 50 women students at BYU said they were raped in the previous year.

So this is what happens when women students follow rules of alcohol avoidance and modesty in dressing. They still get raped, at a rate of 1 in 50 per year. If you’re sitting in a BYU classroom of 100, half women, chances are, one of the women was raped this year.
