Where can I find information on date rape statistic and laws?

Here is an excellent source of a wide range of information regarding "acquaintance rape" commonly known as "date rape"...

As an aside, I still struggle with finding any distinction between rape & date rape. Isn't Rape Rape?... I do see the fact that it is someone that is trusted, committing a violent criminal act against a friend or acquaintance and that this constitutes a vicious betrayal. However, I think that using the term "date rape" deminishes the crime for many out there. For that reason, I think I would prefer to call it rape. (a rose by any other name.....)
