%0 Journal Article %T The Role of Offender Alcohol Use in Rape Attacks: An Analysis of National Crime Victimization Survey Data %J Journal of interpersonal violence %D 2001 %A Brecklin, Leanne R. %A Ullman, Sarah E. %V 16 %N 1 %P 3-21 %X The role of offender preassault alcohol use (as perceived by victims) in the outcomes of rape incidents (N = 362) was analyzed using data from the 1992-1996 National Crime Victimization Survey. Offender preassault alcohol use was hypothesized to be related to more risky assault characteristics (e.g., stranger assaults and weapons) and more severe assault outcomes (e.g., completed rapes and physical injury). As predicted, offender alcohol use was associated with stranger assaults, night assaults, outdoor locations, and greater victim resistance. Logistic regression analyses showed that offender alcohol use was associated with less likelihood of rape completion and unrelated to physical injury when demographic variables and assault characteristics were controlled. Suggestions for future research on the role of alcohol in rape incidents are presented. (Abstract Adapted from Source: Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2001.
