National Crime Surveys: National Sample of Rape Victims, 1973-1982

Published by Bureau of Justice Statistics | Department of Justice | Metadata Last Checked: November 14, 2025 | Last Modified: 2005-11-04T00:00:00
The purpose of this study was to provide an in-depth look at rapes and attempted rapes in the United States. Part 1 of the collection offers data on rape victims and contains variables regarding the characteristics of the crime, such as the setting, the relationship between the victim and offender, the likelihood of injury, and the reasons why rape is not reported to police. Part 2 contains data on a control group of females who were victims of no crime or of crimes other than rape. The information contained is similar to that found in Part 1.
