This annotated bibliography reviews scholarly work on
acquaintance and date rape published in recent years. Acquaintance
rape research has grown significantly since the mid-1980s, and it
is often argued that acquaintance rape is a common occurrence,
especially on college campuses. It is also argued that this type of
sexual assault is very different from stranger rape, principally
because of the socially defined and accepted nature of the
relationship between the victim and the perpetrator.
Works specifically on acquaintance or date rape are included, as
well as earlier works that led to the emergence of the separate
conceptual category of acquaintance rape. Each work is summarized,
and the annotation includes a statement of the purpose, the method,
and the major findings of the work. Separate chapters are devoted
to the incidence of acquaintance rape; its social correlates; and
its causes, effects, treatment, and prevention.
