Did you actually read the entire study? The methodology is incredibly questionable.

we cannot be certain that the variables discriminating between the nonvictim and victim groups were behaviors antecedent to victimization or if they were behaviors occurring after a victimization, perhaps even as a result of the victimization.

Have you considered that maybe the reason that women who dress provocatively, drink, etc. are more susceptible to rape is because these are largely social actions that logistically expose them to more potential rapists?
