Safety and Self Defense on College Campuses
Simple Savage Self Defense Systems has designed a comprehensive safety program specifically for college students that can help prevent anyone from becoming a needless victim of violence.
Here are some important statistics on sexual assault that can help your campus administration make a more informed decision regarding the safety policies in place at your institution:
* Between 20% and 25% of women will experience a completed and/or attempted rape during their college career. (US Dept. of Justice)
* More than half of raped college women tell no one of their victimization.
(US Dept. of Justice)
* 80% of sexual assault and rape victims are under the age of 30.
(US Dept. of Justice)
* 44% of sexual assault and rape victims are under the age of 18.
(US Dept. of Justice)
* Persons with a disability had an age-adjusted rate of rape or sexual assault that was more than twice the rate for persons without a disability.
(US Dept. of Justice)
* In 1 in 3 sexual assaults, the perpetrator was intoxicated. (US Dept. of Justice)
* College freshmen and sophomore women appear to be at greater risk of being victims of sexual assault than are upperclassmen. 84% of the women who reported sexually coercive experiences experienced the incident during their first four semesters on campus. (An Examination of Sexual Violence Against College Women)
* Students living in sorority houses and on-campus dormitories are 3 times and 1.4 times (respectively) more likely to be raped than students living off-campus. (Correlates of Rape While Intoxicated in a National Sample of College Women)
* 38% of college-aged women who have been sexually victimized while in college had first been victims prior to entering college, making past victimization the best predictor of future victimization. (Our Vulnerable Teenagers: Their Victimization, Its Consequences, and Direction for Prevention and Intervention)
* At least 50% of college student sexual assaults are associated with alcohol use. (High Risk Drinking in College: What We Know and What We Need to Learn)
