“The end result is that they provide different estimates of the extent of rape and sexual assault. This in turn creates confusion for the public, for law enforcement, for policymakers, for researchers and for victim advocacy groups,” researchers wrote in the 265-page report.
The number of rapes and sexual assaults in 2012 was 346,830, up from 244,190 the previous year, according to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), conducted by the US Census Bureau for the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
However, other surveys suggest the number of rapes is far higher, around 1.3 million a year, according to a survey by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
Since rapes and sexual assaults in the US are carried out mostly by individuals whom the victim knows, survey respondents might shy away from revealing their assault within earshot of family members, the panel said.
Intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and stalking are important and widespread public health problems in the United States, according to the CDC.
On average, 24 people per minute are victims of rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in the United States, based on a survey conducted in 2010. Over the course of a year, that equals more than 12 million women and men.
