ÖZET
 Cinsel saldırı, zorla dokunma veya öpüşmeyi; sözlü olarak cinsel ilişkiye zorlama ve fiziksel olarak zorla vajinal, oral ve anal penetrasyonu da içeren zorunlu cinsel eylemlerin tümü olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Üniversite kampüslerinde yaygın olarak görülen bir cinsel saldırı türü de 'ya ilk buluşmada ya da devam eden bir ilişkide 2 kişi arasındaki rıza olmadan yapılan seks' olarak tanımlanan randevu tecavüzüdür. Randevu tecavüzü, tanıdık biri tarafından gerçekleştirilen tecavüzün bir alt kümesi olarak da adlandırılan bir tecavüz çeşididir. Randevu tecavüzü çalışılması tartışmalı bir konudur. Sonuç olarak, araştırmacılar için politik, etik ve araştırma gündemlerini ayırmak hiçbir zaman kolay olmamıştır. Ne yazık ki cinsel şiddet kendi kendine devam ediyor ve önlenmesi için de çok daha fazla araştırmaya ihtiyaç vardır. Literatürde yer alan çalışmalar incelendiğinde, tecavüze ilişkin algıların ve tutumların, alkol kullanımının, bazı demografik değişkenlerin, daha önce yaşanan mağduriyetlerin, flört ilişkilerinde fiziksel şiddetin randevu tecavüzüne maruz kalma açısından risk oluşturan etmenler olduğu görülmektedir. Bu geleneksel derleme çalışmasının amacı, ergenler ve genç yetişkinler arasındaki cinsel şiddet anlayışını değiştirmek ve cinsel şiddeti ortadan kaldırmak adına yapılabilecekleri tespit etmek ve çözüm önerilerinde bulunmaktır. Bu doğrultuda, randevu tecavüzünün neyi oluşturduğunun sınırlarının çizilmesinin, randevu tecavüzünü önleme programları geliştirilerek tecavüz hakkında bilgilendirmeler yapılmasının ve tecavüzü önlemeye yönelik daha fazla araştırma yapılmasının gerekli olduğu anlaşılmıştır.

ABSTRACT
 Sexual assault includes 'forced touching or kissing; It is defined as all of the compulsive sexual acts, including verbal coercion and physically forced vaginal, oral and anal penetration. Another common type of sexual assault on college campuses is date rape, which is defined as 'nonconsensual sex between two people, either on a first date or in an ongoing relationship.' Date rape is a variation of rape, also called a subset of rape by someone you know. The study of date rape is a controversial topic. As a result, it has never been easy for researchers to separate political, ethical, and research agendas. Unfortunately, sexual violence is self-perpetuating and much more research is needed to prevent it. When the studies in the literature are examined, it is seen that perceptions and attitudes towards rape, alcohol use, some demographic variables, previous victimizations, physical violence in dating relationships are risk factors in terms of exposure to date rape. The purpose of this traditional review study is to change our understanding of sexual violence between adolescents and young adults and to identify what can be done to eliminate sexual violence and to suggest solutions. In this direction, it has been understood that it is necessary to draw the boundaries of what constitutes date rape, to provide information about rape by developing appointment rape prevention programs, and to conduct more research to prevent rape.
