RAINN is also one of the groups who publish the 1 in 5 statistic. If you challenge their credibility on those stats, then why would anything else on their site be reliable?

One of the Lisak and Miler papers talks about those 3-7% knowing that they won't face consequences, and that's a factor in their calculation when the decide to continue raping. So, it would be logical to consider whether the prospect of getting kicked out of college is enough of a deterrent to prevent rape. The research on motivation is nascient, but from what I've read, the rapists are making a pretty cold calculation.
