“…In their 1982 study, Koss and Oros found that 13% of her sample had been victims of rape, but of these, 43% did not label their experience as rape. The percentage of rape victims who do not acknowledge their rapes as such have been found to range from 73% (Koss, et al, 1988;Layman, Gidycz, & Lynn, 1996), to 64% (Bondurant, 2001), to 62% (Peterson & Muhlenhard, 2004) and 48% (Kahn, Mathie, & Torgler, 1994). According to Koss (1985) these unacknowledged rape victims have had an experience that meets the legal criteria for rape but do not identify themselves as victims.…”
