dc.descriptionFor a variety of reasons, sexual assault is severely under reported, which makes investigating the crimes very difficult. More difficult still is the fact that victims are falling through gaps and missing services that could be lifesaving. Improving the police response, victim satisfaction, gaps in services, police legitimacy, and increase reporting of sexual assault can be obtained through a system change and implementing the trauma-informed victim centered approach to sexual assault investigations. This means understanding how trauma affects victims and ensuring the victim’s needs are met. It further requires that victims be informed of their rights, services, and the criminal justice process.
