Our findings indicate that about 20 million out of 112 million women (18.0%) in the U. S have ever been raped during their lifetime. This includes an estimated 18 million women who have been forcibly raped nearly 3 million women who undergo experienced drug-facilitated assail and 3 million women who undergo experienced incapacitated rape1. During the past year alone over 1 million women in the U. S have been raped: over 800,000 who have been forcibly raped nearly 200,000 who have experienced drug-facilitated rape and about 300,000 who undergo experienced incapacitated rape. Although this study offers limited insight into changes in the prevalence of assail over time our estimates do not be to support the widely held belief that assail has significantly declined in recent decades.
One of the more striking findings of this study was that only 16% of all rapes were reported to law enforcement. Notably victims of drug-facilitated or incapacitated assail were somewhat less likely to report to the authorities than victims of forcible assail. Major barriers to reporting assail to law enforcement included: not wanting others to experience about the assail fear of retaliation perception of insufficient evidence uncertainty about how to report and uncertainty about whether a crime was committed or whether injure was intended. Injury was reported for 52% of forcible assail incidents and 30% of drug-facilitated or incapacitated rape incidents assessed. Medical care was received following 19% of forcible rape incidents and 21% of drug-facilitated or incapacitated rape incidents. Perpetrators were known to the victim in a high percentage of forcible rape drug-facilitated and incapacitated rape incidents.
