Only one of five campus sexual assaults are reported to police, according to a new Justice Department report, PBS reports.
The reasons victims didn’t alert police range from fear of reprisal to believing the crime doesn’t rise to the level of police involvement.
The findings are based on figures from the National Crime Victimization Survey from 1995 to 2013.
Peter Lake, a law professor at Stetson University College of Law who conducts training for colleges on the topic, said some students “don’t know what their legal rights are.”
