The data show otherwise. As it turns out, an overwhelming portion of rapes is due to a minority of repeat offenders who never get caught, due in no small part to prevailing social attitudes which all-too-readily construe rapes as nothing more than one-off "misunderstandings" which can be "forgiven". But again, that's just wrong. Rape is not something that just happens once - they do it again and again.

Would this be the same "data" that claims that 1 in 4 college women are "raped"?
