According to a 1996 sponsored survey by Department of Justice of 4,446 women, rape is forced sexual intercourse including both psychological coercion as well as physical force. Forced sexual intercourse means vaginal, anal, or oral penetration by the offender(s). This category also includes incidents where the penetration is from a foreign object such as a bottle. Includes attempted rapes, male as well as female victims, and both heterosexual and homosexual rape. Attempted rape includes verbal threats of rape. 90% of victims of assaults that occur on campus say they know the perpetrator. The National College Women Sexual Victimization (NCWSV) discovered that seven months prior to the study, 1.1% of college women had been a victim of an attempted rape and 1.7% had been a victim of a completed rape. The survey concluded that annually about 5% of female college students will victimized and 25% will be assaulted by the end of college. Two ways to prevent rape are by supporting a healthy norm in college campuses and by providing students with a safer environment by installing emergency call boxes and surveillance cameras.
I believe this is a very important issue to discuss on school campus'. I think there should be mandatory school lectures that talk about sexual assault and its impacts on peoples lives. So many people lives are being ruined by this horrid act and it needs to be stopped. I think that if we had someone talk to all college freshman about the safety precautions on campus, this will promote a campus atmosphere free of fear and intimidation. I personally could make sure that I never walk alone at night and that none of my friends do either.
Nice summary and response. Be sure and proofread your work for errors in mechanics (campuses, people's lives, will be victimized, etc.)
