As-yet unpublished research is a hell of a thing to base such a huge statement on -- but lazy reporting is *probably* the culprit here.
Still, "men seeking casual work" are inherently unlikely to be a great barometer for "Western men". I would not be surprised to find a greater percentage of miscreants among men with presumably poor education, limited skills, and other problems.
Rape is, after all, fundamentally about violence, not sex.
Hmm. 17 and 22 would fit the "college guy dating a minor" mold and be five years' difference. I wonder what percentage was that sort of thing rather than raping an adult?
