This weeks lesson - Rape and College Campuses: Do you actually know what rape is?

I am providing a link for the RAINN website, specifically the link to the page "Was I Raped?" This week's lesson discusses, among other things, statistics as to the reason why victims of rape or attempted rape on college campuses do not report the incident. The three main reasons were 1) individuals weren't sure that they were raped; 2) they didn't want people to know; and 3) they weren't sure that the victimizer meant to commit a crime or that they meant to hurt the victim. On this particular topic, I will address my own thoughts in the Academic Interests section of this blog. For now, this entry is primarily to provide you with the resource to determine what rape and sexual assault is. This website provides commonly asked questions and answers, as well.
