Abstract

The author examines how culturally learned sex roles and myths about rape come together to give acquaintance rape a status somewhere between accepted practice and unacceptable crime. Risk factors, barriers to reporting rape, and factors that make college students a vulnerable group, are discussed. Institutional programs and resources are highlighted, along with a new educational approach using small group workshops.
