While a university experience offers young women many rewards, unfortunately, there are also significant dangers, and one of these dangers is men who are sexual predators. Acquaintance rape is a sexual assault perpetrated by someone who is known to the victim. It is a violent and serious crime that is far too common an occurrence at our institutions of higher education. It is imperative that women in colleges and universities become informed about 1) the crime of acquaintance rape; 2) precautionary behaviors to try to prevent becoming a victim of acquaintance rape; and 3) learn procedures to follow after an acquaintance rape has occurred, in order to successfully prosecute the offender.
