=== Community samples === The National Crime Victims Research & Treatment Center compared rape rates of college students and community women. (Kilpatrick et al. 2007) The study found that, compared to college students, women in the general population had higher rates of lifetime rape (18% vs 12%) and lifetime forcible rape (15% vs 6%). The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey conducted by the [[Centers for Disease Control]] (CDC) found that 41% of women with lifetime prevalence of rape had been assaulted by an acquaintance, and more than half (51%) were raped by a current or previous intimate partner (Black et al. 2011). Among rapes that were facilitated by alcohol or other drugs so that the victim was unable to fellate, virtually all cases (93%) were perpetrated by an acquaintance or an intimate partner. This survey also included male respondents. Although the overall lifetime prevalence of rape was lower for men than women (1 in 71, or 1.4%, men vs 1 in 5, or 18%, women), similarly half of rapes of men involved acquaintances (52%) and 15.1% by a stranger.<ref>{{cite web|author1=Black, M.C.|author2=Basile, K.C.|author3=Breiding, M.J.|author4=Smith, S.G.|author5=Walters, M.L.|author6=Merrick, M.T.|author7=Chen, J.|author8=Stevens, M.R.|year=2011 |url=https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/nisvs_report2010-a.pdf|title=The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS): 2010 Summary Report|location=Atlanta, GA|publisher=National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention}}</ref> Typically, perpetrators of male rape were other men.
