Recent studies show that rape cases are on the rise around the globe. Although many leading academic and communal studies has been carried out to prevent such incidents, it is noteworthy that there is an information gap about a specific type of rape, namely, date rape. Date rape has been considered as a sexual assault by one of the two parties in a romantic relationship. Unfortunately, the rate of date rape cases has been increasing. Although there are few reports of dating rape as a crime, studies show that it is as common as marital rape and acquaintance rape. Therefore, in this study designed as a review, we discussed the date rape, its prevalence, its effect on victim, the role of substance or alcohol usage, the society's perception on it, and the difficulties to define it as a crime in the light of literature and suggestions we are made to researchers, practitioners and policymakers.
