There will also be a discussion on the types of rape and also the drugs that could be used during or before the rape.
• UCR Uniform Crime Reports give us a idea of the amount of crime in one area and what crimes that may have occurred that are reported. Due to the large variations in crime levels may indicate modified records procedures, incomplete reporting, or changes in a jurisdiction’s boundaries. To identify any unusual fluctuations in an agency’s crime counts, the program compares monthly reports to previous submissions of the agency and with those for similar agencies.(FBI) This allows all of this information to be in one central location and easier to find and review. • NCVS The NCVS collects information on crimes suffered by individuals and households, whether or not those crimes were reported to law enforcement. It estimates the proportion of each crime type reported to law enforcement, and it summarizes the reasons that victims give for reporting or not reporting.(FBI)

It could be someone you meet at a party, or someone you love and trust, like your boyfriend.(Peterson ) They might use physical and verbal threats, emotional blackmail, or alcohol and drugs to force or trick you into having sex.(Peterson )
• Types • Acquaintance Rape Acquaintance assault involves coercive sexual activities that occur against a person 's will by means of force, violence, duress, or fear of bodily injury. These sexual activities are imposed upon
