There's no compelling reason I've seen to believe colleges would have a lower reporting rate than anywhere else in the country. It's a problem to be sure, but lots of rapes are going to go unreported in any jurisdiction for primarily the same reason, the victims feel ashamed even though they have no reason to. But really that argument doesn't hold a lot of weight. Yes my rates are based only on crimes that are reported, but so is the national figure so they are measuring the same thing and in terms of statistics make a great comparison.
And I don't disagree with the idea that prevention is a good idea. You certainly should learn the facts and be prepared, I just took issue with the portrayal some were trying to give of college campuses being these hot spots for rape.
