Abstract:	The incidence of rape victimization in 26 American cities was investigated using interviews conducted with representative samples of approximately 10,000 households (22,000 individuals) in each of the cities. Results indicated that: (1) rates of rape and attempted rape were higher for younger women, minorities, women who were never married or divorced or separated, women whose major activities took them away from home, and women with lower family incomes; (2) rape victims were most often attacked by offenders perceived to be 21 or older; (3) rape and attempted rape were highly intra-racial; (4) most rapes occurred during the evening or night by one offender on one victim; (5) the woman who chose to defend herself increased the chances that rape would not be completed but increased the chances for other injuries; and (6) only slightly over half of the victims reported victimization to the police.
