Perpetrator Profiles Interpretation

This chilling mosaic of data reveals that the typical campus date rapist is often a white, hypermasculine, repeat-offending student—likely in a fraternity or athletics—who feels entitled, uses alcohol as a weapon, and is known to his victim, yet his greatest commonality is a profound lack of empathy wrapped in privilege and opportunity.
