Rape And Sexual Assault Is Becoming A Sheer Problem On...

In today’s society rape and sexual assault is becoming a sheer problem on college campuses around the United States. It is almost everyday that one hears about a sexual assault or rape case happening at a college, and sometimes its at the college that one attends or ones child attends. With this becoming a world renown problem, it can be a very scary thing for not only the students at college but also for the families of college students. To be more specific when it comes to who is starting to commit these hideous crimes, the cops and detectives are starting look at more and more college athletes. When approaching this problem, one has to look into all the different factors as to why the sexual assault or rape happened in the first place. Victims of these kinds of crimes often have different outlooks on how it happened or as to why it happened to them. Majority of the time either both parties or just one were intoxicated when the crime takes place. At a college though, one can not simply factor out the alcohol use, due to it be such a big existence to the college life. Antonia Abby states in the article, â€Å"On average, at least 50% of college students’ sexual assaults are associated with alcohol use† (119). By looking at statistics 50% or higher is a very accurate number when it comes to sexual assault and rape. Most of the time when sexual assault or rape occurs, it happens between people that know each other, and generally have some kind of social life with one another.
