From the Paper:

"One particularly heinous aspect of campus crime is associated with the growing phenomena of date rape or acquaintance rape. Though it is clear that stranger assaults do occur frequently upon college campuses, it is also clear that the more common form of rape is acquaintance or date rape. Acquaintance rape is often closely associated with drug and alcohol use, another troubling aspect of campus life. Linking the two together is a string of both experience and statistical evidence. "In the United States, researchers have often demonstrated through self-report and victimization surveys that sexual assaults are endemic on university campuses." Not only are the recreational use of drugs and alcohol associated with the occurrences of rape but also there is an alarming trend associated with the crime that resonates the seemingly un-punishable offender state that has been created by the aforementioned institutional environment."
