Alcohol and Remembering Rape, St Mary's SARC Annual Conference Dr FloweHeather Flowe
How does alcohol affect memory for sexual assault, and memory for forensically relevant details in particular? This talk provides an overview of research on the topic.
1) Rape patterns are influenced by factors such as race, age, time of year, location, and victim characteristics. Gang rapes account for over 40% of reported rapes and target unsuspecting victims. 2) Date/acquaintance rape is the most common type, often involving verbal coercion, and over half of female college students experience sexual assault. 3) Victim responses vary depending on the type of rape, and they may face further abuse from police and courts when reporting. Survivors commonly experience shock, fear, and long-term psychological impacts.
No Good Deed: Improving Mental Health Crisis Response to Law Enforcement citinfo
The document summarizes a conference on improving mental health crisis response to law enforcement.

This document provides information about rape and sexual assault, including definitions, North Carolina laws, myths and facts, advice for victims, and legal options. It defines rape as forced sexual intercourse and notes other nonconsensual sexual acts are also felonies. Common myths are dispelled, such as that victims invite assault through their actions. Advice is given to support victims by believing them and ensuring their safety and medical needs. Legal reporting allows investigation but prosecution requires victim involvement. Victims may pursue criminal charges against rapists or civil charges to seek damages.
This study investigates the reporting behavior of sexual assault survivors to police and whether their actions during the assault influence reporting. The study finds that victims who cooperated with their attacker were very unlikely to report to police, likely due to fears of stigma and not being believed. In contrast, victims who resisted their attacker were more likely to report. The implications are that stigma prevention strategies, like police training and victim advocates, could encourage more reporting and better support survivors' recovery process.
This document discusses marital rape and the legal issues surrounding it in India. It provides background on how marital rape is currently not recognized as a criminal offense under Indian law. It outlines some of the harmful impacts of marital rape like longer trauma recovery, repeated assaults, pressure to stay with the perpetrator, and negative effects on children. The document also discusses the challenges with defining marital rape as a crime in India due to cultural and social norms around marriage. It shares perspectives on why changing the law has been controversial and arguments for recognizing marital rape as a punishable offense.
Rochester police in Australia are taking a preventative approach to curb domestic violence in the region. They are visiting homes where they are aware of issues like addiction, family conflicts, and financial problems to provide information about support services before a situation escalates to violence. The police enter family details into a system called Support Link that notifies agencies to contact the family for help. This approach aims to make it easier on everyone than dealing with the aftermath of violence. A police officer said they had dealt with 15 reported domestic violence cases that year, and there is often a long history of emotional abuse before a physical assault occurs. He has commonly witnessed emotional and financial abuse of women in the area. The goal is to break the cycle of

The 2012 annual report of the Cochise County-Sierra Vista Regional Domestic Violence Fatality Review Team summarizes their first case review from 2012. The review examined a domestic violence incident involving multiple calls to law enforcement over three years that ultimately resulted in a hostage situation and suicide. Key findings included a lack of communication between responding officers, no data sharing system between agencies, and a need for more officer training. Recommendations included appointing a lead officer for ongoing domestic violence cases, implementing a flagging system to alert officers, using lethality screens and safety plans, and providing regular domestic violence training to officers. Some recommendations like the lead officer program were already being tested and implemented by the Sierra Vista Police Department
A cross sectional analysis on Domestic violence among married women of reprod...BANAFULRoy
This document summarizes a study on domestic violence among married women in Bangladesh. The study found that 91% of women reported their husband's controlling behavior. 83% said their husbands restricted access to healthcare. 57% reported being sexually abused by their husbands in the past year. Only 19% of physically abused women disclosed the abuse to others and 17% sought help. The study highlights the need for better implementation of domestic violence laws in Bangladesh and increasing support services for abused women.
Three ranking staffers in West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin's office, including Chief of Staff Chris Stadelman, are requesting exemptions from the state's ethics rules to allow them to seek private sector jobs after Tomblin's term ends in five months.

Rape is a serious crime that involves nonconsensual sexual acts through unwanted touching, oral sex, anal sex, or vaginal penetration. The document discusses several cases of rape in India, including a 17-year-old boy who brutally raped a girl and her boyfriend, and only faced 3 years in prison due to his age. It also notes statistics about the prevalence of rape in India, such as 44% of rapes occurring before age 18, and only 16.3% of rapists serving jail time. While laws have been strengthened in India to address rape, issues still remain around marital rape not being illegal and protections not extending to transgender people.
This document summarizes research on adolescent sex offenders. It finds that 1/3 to 1/2 of adult sex offenders began offending during adolescence. Nearly half of juvenile sex offenders began offending before age 12. Studies show treatment programs targeting criminogenic needs like antisocial attitudes can reduce recidivism rates compared to sanctions alone. Cost-benefit analyses indicate for every $1 spent on effective juvenile programming, taxpayers save $7-31 on average due to reduced crime.
The document is a letter from Fight Crime: Invest in Kids urging members of Congress to reauthorize the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program before it expires on September 30, 2017. It notes that the program pairs at-risk parents with nurses or professionals from pregnancy through a child's first 2-3 years of life, and studies found it cut abuse and neglect in half and reduced crime involvement later in life. The letter urges Congress to reauthorize the program for 5 years and double its funding over that period to expand access and continue its success in preventing child abuse and neglect. It is signed by over 500 law enforcement leaders from across the US.

Police statistics show an 11% increase in reports of domestic violence in the Campaspe region. Sergeant Dale Simm of Rochester police attributes this primarily to more victims coming forward to report incidents, as community attitudes against family violence have changed. Emotional abuse, such as limiting access to money or social activities, is also being reported officially now. Police believe the actual number of domestic violence cases could be even higher next year if this trend of increased reporting continues.
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) refers to physical, sexual, or psychological harm caused by a current or former intimate partner or spouse. IPV can take many forms including physical violence, stalking, harassment, and the nonconsensual sharing of private information or images online. Statistics show that IPV is prevalent with around a quarter of women and 8% of men reporting being stalked online and nearly a quarter of women experiencing physical threats online. Victims of IPV often face difficulties in gathering evidence and protecting themselves due to the close nature of the relationship and limitations of security software. People are advised to secure their devices and accounts, be aware of who has access to them, and use antivirus software to help prevent

This document summarizes a study on abuse among kayayo, or female migrant porters, in Accra, Ghana. The study assessed HIV prevalence, sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy rates, and associated risk behaviors among 300 kayayo. It also examined experiences of verbal, physical, and sexual abuse. The results found less than 1% HIV prevalence, low pregnancy rates, and high rates of abuse, particularly by husbands. Younger kayayo and those with less education reported more abuse from husbands. The study was limited by potential underreporting but provides implications for policies to support kayayo housing, skills training, and counseling.

Innovations in Domestic Violence Intervention Poster PresentationPatricia Hall
The document summarizes the Offender Focused Domestic Violence Initiative (OFDVI) implemented in High Point, NC to reduce domestic violence recidivism. The OFDVI applies a focused deterrence strategy that identifies domestic violence offenders based on their history, notifies them that their violence will not be tolerated, and promises swift sanctions for reoffending. In its first year, the OFDVI achieved reoffense rates of only 5-8% for 673 offenders, significantly lower than the typical 20-34% recidivism rates. The strategy aims to deter future offenses through offender notifications and by addressing gaps in how the criminal justice system handles domestic violence cases.

In response to growing concern about accountability in our communities, Cherry Hill Seminary has released a free media presentation called Don't Look Away: Recognizing & Responding to Abuse for Non-Professionals.
Don't Look Away was created to help individuals and small groups better understand the nature of sexual abuse and appropriate ways to respond, as well as what to do if you have been abused, yourself.
"So many of us, unless we are a professional trained in such matters, don't really know what to do or not do when we are confronted with possible abuse," said Executive Director Holli Emore. "For far too long, we have either not recognized the signs of abuse among us, or we have looked away, assuming, hoping, that someone else will take care of the problem. But those problems don't go away by themselves."
Don't Look Away is intended for a general, public audience; that is, it is not a scholarly piece. It is simple, direct and to the point. The additional resource links enable the viewer to pursue further information, if they wish. Cherry Hill Seminary also offers extensive coursework in ethics, pastoral counseling, and related issues.

SEX OFFENDER VERSION

Most sexual offenses are committed by strangers.
Most sexual offenses are committed by someone known to the victim or victim’s family, regardless if the victim is a child or an adult.
Approximately 60% of boys and 80% of girls who are sexually victimized are abused by someone known to the child or the child’s family.
From 2005 to 2010, 78% of sexual violence involved an offender who was a family member, intimate partner, friend, or acquaintance.
Debunking the Myths
Bullet 2 – (60% boys / 80% girls) is from Lieb, Quinsey, and Berliner, 1998.
In a 2009 study conducted by the US Dept. of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, 13,471 juvenile sex offender cases were evaluated which revealed that in 88.2% of reported incidents, the victim was either a family member or acquaintance.
Only 2.5% involved a victim who was considered a stranger to the offender.

The picture on the left shows the latest developments in a long-term problem of sexual assault on college campuses. In June, Candice Johnson, OCR Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights issued a memo that effectively stalled investigation of civil rights violations including sexual assault on campuses. A month later, Democratic Senators Kirsten Gillibrand from New York State and Claire McCaskill from Missouri urged Secretary of Education Betsy Devos to reverse this decision as unlawful because of failure to protect students under Title IX. Full text of the memo and Title IX, Sec. 1681 Sex are part of your lesson handout.
Similar problem with widespread sexual assault, and especially against minors, is a long-term problem at cruise ships. Because of the nature of cruise ships, there is no immediate response by law enforcement and the ship guards that investigate the matter are the cruise company’s employees therefore often unlikely to be of meaningful help to the victims. Jurisdiction can be federal, state or foreign, depending on the ship’s flag.
Finally, sexual violence in a workplace can be difficult to address because of the unequal relationship between parties and under-reporting. Recently, car company Tesla appeared in the news as a hostile workplace to women.
This document provides an overview of the neurobiology of trauma and its implications for interviewing victims. It discusses how trauma impacts brain functioning and memory formation. Traumatic memories are initially just fragmented sensations that are later integrated into narrative stories by the prefrontal cortex. However, the prefrontal cortex may be impaired during trauma, resulting in fragmented and inconsistent victim accounts that raise suspicion. Understanding these neurobiological effects of trauma can help improve victim interviewing techniques.
Nearly 1 in 5 Maine residents report being the victim of rape or attempted rape. Approximately 14,000 Maine residents are victims of unwanted sexual activity each year, and 39% of victims call crisis hotlines within the first month of an assault. Rape is considered a violent crime rather than solely a sexual one. While it occurs at similar rates regardless of location, there is a slight increase in college towns. Most victims know their perpetrator, and are often stalked beforehand. Prevention efforts focus on changing social and cultural norms using a public health model to address underlying societal factors.

STEVE Evidence-based, best practice The majority of crisis centers in Michigan are community-based – Our vision is to have a community-based center dedicated to sexual assault.
LEANN Majority don’t come forward
LAUREN
STEVE
STEVE Each step of the way, it is very easy for victims to drop off But this person made it this far, and then this far…
LEANN/Lauren
LAUREN/LEANN LAUREN – The trauma of rape extends beyond the actual incident. There are many challenges that unfold afterward – reporting to police, telling friends and family, seeking medical care, prosecution or denial of charges, emotional wounds, etc. Easy to drop off at every point of this process Rape crisis center minimizes the likelihood that the victim will drop out LEANN – broken arm heals raped pt benefits most from therapy
LAUREN Why do we need this? Sexual assault happens in our community and has a pervasive impact on everyone. The UCR is widely acknowledged to be only a small representation of what actually is reported Even so, there were 456 reports in Ingham County for 2007 alone
LAUREN/LEANN LAUREN - Part of the underreporting is a fear of police and hospital, fear of judgment and isolation. We need to increase the number of people who report, which will increase the number who are prosecuted. LEANN – Ask yourself if you would want to report being raped
STEVE Who is this for? Emphasis on family members, loved ones, and friends who are all impacted by rape Talk about what it’s like to work in this field as a man
STEVE/Leann why the Listening Ear Why is it community-based vs. hospital based? Improved health and safety Free & collaborative One-stop shopping Provides continued support
STEVE A comprehensive community based sexual assault response will empower the change from victim to survivor instead of services all over the county there will be one place & services will be brought to her/him
STEVE Ingham county community partners established these goals
LAUREN Emphasis on the individual will experience improved short & long term healing We know that when survivors have access to resources it improves and strengthens the healing process. Consolidated services allow survivors to more easily access the help they need. More people can receive the medical exam, file a police report, and receive counseling. The community benefits as well.
LEANN This project you are going to support will transform our community Victimization is at epidemic proportions and cost our county billions of $$ This project will transform Ingham county to a healthier safer place Emphasis on the community
