Beginning in 2012, the FBI's Uniform Crime Report redefined rape as: "The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim" (LeTrent, 2013). However, although this definition has become more applicable to both men and women (the previous definition from 1927-2011 was "the carnal knowledge of a female, forcibly and against her will" (LaTrent, 2013), women are much more likely to be raped. The CDC notes that women are disproportionately affected by rape: nearly 1 in 5 women (18%) and 1 in 71 men (1%) have been raped in their lifetime (CDC, 2010).
