The ones with rape-only statistics are:
Mosher & Anderson, 19867 -> First paragraph: "To relate the macho personality constellation to men’s reports of sexual aggression, 175 nineteen-year old, middle-class, college sophomores anonymously completed the Hypermasculinity Inventory and a newly constructed Aggressive Sexual Behavior Inventory."
Kosson, Kelly & White, 1997 -> Study's called: "Psychopathy-related traits predict self-reported sexual aggression among college men."
Rubenzahl & Corcoran, 199811 -> Copy-paste doesn't work in that study, but it's also from college, plus the sample size (104) is highly questionable.
Collings, 1999 -> From the abstract: "The prevalence of sexual aggression was examined in a non-forensic sample of 393 university males. "
Weiss & Zverina, 1999 -> Irrelevant. "Experiences with sexual aggression within the general population in the Czech Republic."
Spitzberg, 1999 -> This one's actually about the general population. That's great. Not for your numbers though, because it has a lower rate of 4.8%.
So in conclusion: The one study that's not been conducted on colleges shows a lower number than the one you're using to refer to the whole population. You should stop using it and use the 4.8 instead.
Which is still a terrifying number btw.
/edit: Looked at a few of the mixed studies, too. College students, college students... university students. Well, that's new.
