摘要

Persons age 12 or older experienced an average annual 140,990 completed rapes, 109230 attempted rapes, and 152,680 completed and attempted sexual assaults between 1992 and 2000, according to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). Most rapes and sexual assaults were committed against females: Female victims accounted for 94% of all completed rapes, 91% of all attempted rapes, and 89% of all completed and attempted sexual assaults, 1992-2000. Because of the small number of sample cases of rape and sexual assault against males, analysis in the remainder of this report relates to female victims only. Data are aggregated across 9 years to produce average annual estimates. All rapes, 39% of attempted rapes, and 17% of sexual assaults against females resulted in injured victims 1992-2000. Most injured rape, attempted rape, and sexual assault victims did not receive treatment for their injuries.
