Other academic studies have also shown that rape is a persistent problem…

When an incident is not reported the perpetrator gets a chance to hurt someone else. By reporting to authorities, you are decreasing the chances of someone else being assaulted. After looking at the statistics, I wondered how we can stop sexual assault on campuses because students deserve a safe learning environment.…
