“…Prevalence rates for adolescent dating violence vary from 9%-77% for girls and 6%-67% for boys (Ackard and Neumark-Sztainer, 2002;Bergman, 1992;Schubot, 2001;Vicary et al, 1995); the wide range of estimates is likely the result of variation in the definition of violence, with some studies measuring personal insults (e.g., "put down my looks"), and others measuring only the most serious forms of violence, such as physical or forced sex. It is important to note that adolescent girls engage in aggressive behaviors toward dating partners at rates that are comparable to, or exceed, those for boys when considering verbal, emotional, physical, and sexual aggression in conjunction (Chase et al, 2002).…”

Objective-The purpose of this study was to document the prevalence and describe the characteristics of alcohol-related sexual assault among middle and high school students.Method-A Web-based, self-administered survey was used to collect data on 7th-through 12th-grade students (n = 1,037) in a large metropolitan area in the Midwest. A modified version of the Sexual Experiences Survey was used to ask students about their sexual victimization experiences so as to examine the involvement of alcohol within specific assault events. The sample was equally distributed by biological gender and ethnicity (white vs black) and was, on average (SD), 14 (2) years of age.Results-Findings from the study indicate that alcohol was involved in approximately 12%-20% of the assault cases, depending on age and gender of the respondent. For females, the presence of alcohol during assault differed significantly based on the location at which the assault occurred, ranging from 6% (at the survivor's home) to 29% (at parties or someone else's home). Furthermore, alcohol-related assault among females was more likely to involve physical force than non-alcoholrelated assault.Conclusions-Results are discussed in light of the risk factors of alcohol-related assault among adolescents as well as the nature of social contexts that fosters alcohol-related sexual assault among both adolescents and college students.Sexual assault, which refers to any form of unwanted sexual contact obtained through violent or nonviolent means, has profound ramification in the lives of its victims in terms of their psychological and physical well-being (see Neville and Heppner, 1999, for a review). Previous research based on college students has documented a strong relationship between alcohol and sexual assault. To date, however, there has been limited research on the association between alcohol and sexual assault among adolescents. Although adolescents report lower rates of alcohol consumption than do college students, adolescents have the highest rate of sexual assault among all age groups, according to the National Crime Victim Survey (Rennison, 2002), suggesting that research in this area is warranted. Thus, the purpose of this study was to document the prevalence and describe the characteristics of alcohol-related sexual assault among middle and high school students. Given the limited research on alcohol-related assault among adolescents, we draw on the wealth of data on alcohol-related assault among college

“…In her nationally representative sample of college students, Koss (1988) found that about 27% of women have experienced rape or attempted rape since the age of 14 and 57% of these sexual assaults occurred during a date. Schubot's (2001) study using a random sample of South Dakota high school students in 1997 reported that almost 12% of female respondents had been forced to have sexual intercourse on a date. Of the few resources available, statistics show that date rape is a problem in South Korea as well.…”

Attitudes Toward Date Rape Among University Students in South Korea

The purpose of this study is to examine attitudes toward date rape among university students in South Korea. Participants included 163 students recruited from two universities in South Korea. Results show that male students were less rejecting of date rape-tolerant attitudes than female students were. Also, male students were less rejecting of the belief that the use of force to have sex on a date is acceptable under certain conditions. Attending a sexual assault educational program was associated with more rejection of date rape-tolerant attitudes among females, but not among males. The results will be of particular value to advocates who provide rape prevention and victim intervention programs.

“…These factors come to bear on young men and women as they begin to mature, increasing the likelihood of both the use of force and victimization by force among children learning to manage emerging sexuality. It is thus not surprising that in his measure of self-reported rape from high school students in South Dakota for three years (1993, 1995, and 1997), Schubot (2001) found rates ranging from 11.8 percent to 14.9 percent. In the area of sexual assault, Acierno et al (2001) found that younger women report higher levels of assault than older women.…”
