According to Wikipedia:
It seems to me that if studies get so much variance they are likely to be methodologically flawed, if not outright fraudolent.
Moreover:
A 15–20% overall rape prevalence in the general female population seems inconsistent with a ~20% prevalence in the female college population, unless you assume that college women are have an exceptionally high risk of being raped, which I would find surprising (I expect that the majority of rapes occurs to victims from socially degraded and impoverished backgrounds).
IIRC sexual assault is a broader category than rape.
Fair point.
Though In informal discussions the terms are often conflated.
