Research has found that victims of rape are more likely to report the rape if the assailant was a stranger and there was a weapon involved. This is likely because these factors increase the victim's perception of danger and decrease the likelihood that they will be blamed for the assault. Other research has found that women who report the attack to police may experience negative outcomes such as revictimization through police procedures and fear of retaliation, which may discourage reporting. However, research has not found evidence to support the notion that men are more likely than women to report rape.
