One paper was based on interviews with a number of imprisoned rapists. They were the hardcore 'Crimewatch' type - you know, predatory 'knock'em down and drag'em off the street' attackers. All their victims had been strangers to them.
It seems that there was about a 51/49% split between the rapists who'd be put off by a victim's screams and struggles and those who'd be further aroused by the fuss. Can't remember which way round it was but it hardly matters really!
The conclusion I drew was that if a stranger sttacked a woman she'd have at least a 50/50 chance of escaping by putting up a fight.
This type of attack is rare though so don't have nightmares.
