Although not scientific, there's a simple common sense argument in this too.

I'm nearly forty. I've worked as a professional designer for over fifteen years and before that attended art school, high school and so on. I've been a member of numerous clubs and I'm an active climber and mountaineer.

The total number of women I've known well in those years is huge. Yet I have never known a single one who I know was raped, who said she was raped or who I even heard it said was raped.

I've known their most intimate secrets from their childhood toys to how they liked to masturbate but never once has a single one told me she was raped.

Now if rape is really an epidemic in our society, how can this be? How can it be that of all the women I know not one has apparently been raped? Am I supposed to believe that they're all hiding this from me, from each other and from their husbands, siblings, friends and lovers?

I know rape happens and it's terrible. But surely if it was a prevalent as is claimed, I'd have met one victim by now?

All statistics should have some sort of margin for error. You should always check the source of statistics, no matter what subject they pertain to, before believing the information portrayed by them. It is a necessary evil in today's information age. Simply adding the word rape in the middle instead of focusing on the bigger picture i.e. statisticians manipulating the masses doesn't give you grounds to rage.
That being said, one person being raped in a society is too many people. It doesn't matter what percent of the population they are. Also, specifically just on college campuses, there has been of recent trend of protecting males from being victimized by the women they violated. All rape statistics (female and male) are going to be skewed because of how much of a stigma rape holds in the fabric of this society. Its hard to keep track of something that mostly goes unreported. http://www.aclu.org/blog/womens-rights/new-report-shows-95-campus-rapes-go-unreported
