Tell Me More

One of the most common factors associated with rape is the voluntary consumption of alcohol and drugs. Studies published by the Journal of American College Health and the Journal of Studies on Alcohol found that 72% to 82% of college students who are raped or experience unwanted sexual intercourse were intoxicated at the time. Scholars who have brought attention to this risk factor have been scolded and censored by people who claim that discussing the issue could lead to blaming the victim.
