Justice
- concluded "Rape prevention
education may be the most crucial element in confronting
rape as a society."

Survey 1998 found that:
- 10-25% of young women between the
ages of 15-24 will be victims of rape or attempted rape.
- 1 in 10 high school students will
experience physical violence from someone they are dating.

found that:
- 22% of those surveyed were under
12 when first raped.
- 32% were 12-17 years old when
