The U.S. Department of Justice reporting on this topic is unscientific and irresponsible
The U.S. Department of Justice has released a report entitled “Rape and Sexual Assault Victimization Among College-Age Females, 1995-2013,” and in light of the Rolling Stone and Lena Dunham controversies, the DOJ report is getting some media attention.
But the report simply does not answer the question at hand, nor can it. Nor can any report. The public and policy makers are going to eventually need to understand that we will never, ever know the real rate of sexual assaults in any demographic group, never mind among the populace as a whole.
The DOJ report is both unscientific and irresponsible in its reporting. The report’s language does not appropriately address the uncertainty in the underlying data. Witness the first paragraph of the report:

We Will Never Know the Actual Rate of Sexual Assault>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Ask Laz. He will likely say the rate is FAST among the left.!
Why do you say that?
Making up stories and lying about it doesn’t help.
Report from DOJ is biased in the pc direction, and still says less than 1% of students reported rape or attempted rape. Actual stat from report is 0.61%. Compare to libs 20% bs figure.
What the feminists love is anything that harms men. It does not matter if the men are innocent. They have fostered this prove the negative argument.
"Most of the rapes at XXXXX institution are unreported."
OK - then how do you know we have an epidemic of sexual assault?
The answer from the left is:"How DARE you question us? I guess you SUPPORT rape then!?"
Here is a real statistic, from the Pentagon's own report.
Since 2009, false reports of sexual assault by females has gone up 17%, and sexual assaults in the US military that are male on male have skyrocketed.
False reporting is almost NEVER prosecuted.
This is the "heads I win, tails you lose" approach.
The US military was forced to spend Millions of dollars it didn't have to "educate" the troglodyte men about what scumbags they really were. Forced propaganda briefings, "training sessions", and endless hours of "role playing" by our warriors took place.
Now, colleges and universities are feeling the weight of the Justice Dept's push on them.
One of the more outlandish new foundations is that if a woman has even a sip of alcohol, she can no longer "give consent" so that if a man has sex with her, he automatically "raped" her.
Think about that! With that defense, anyone could drink, drive, and kill someone, and then claim they were innocent because they "didn't give consent" to get behind the wheel. Yet this "legal defense" is employed in the military and at colleges now.
aside from the just released data, 20% or one in five, is simply waaaay beyond anything in the non college sector... it was either made up out of whole cloth OR, changing what words mean to fit their agenda
You didn’t read that carefully enough. The statistic you are commenting on is that out of all rapes, only 1 in 5 are reported to the police. I would believe that mainly because of the way that the crime of rape has been redefined and diluted to include threats of rape and minor sexual assaults. The article indicates that the percentage of rapes are much less than 1%, which I think is the statistic you are looking for, but you probably commented before reading the entire article.
no, i read this one, and many others like it...
One in five women in college sexually assaulted: the source of this statistic
“We know the numbers: one in five of every one of those young women who is dropped off for that first day of school, before they finish school, will be assaulted, will be assaulted in her college years.”
–Vice President Biden, remarks on the release of a White House report on sexual assault, April 29, 2014
“It is estimated that 1 in 5 women on college campuses has been sexually assaulted during their time there — 1 in 5.”
–President Obama, remarks at White House, Jan. 22, 2014
Reports of sexual assault on college campuses spurred the White House earlier this year to launch a task force to examine the issue. The group’s report was issued on Tuesday, and the first sentence of the report echoes what both the president and vice president have asserted in public: “One in five women is sexually assaulted in college.”
