Sexual Assault Kits and Reforming the Response to Rape curates the
current state of untested sexual assault kit research and
highlights emerging best practices by exploring the past, the
present, and the future of our collective response to rape. This
book is the first to address the most critical topics related to
untested sexual assault kits and the Department of Justice's Sexual
Assault Kit Initiative, bringing together leading US scholars,
practitioners, policy makers, and survivors. In a series of
well-researched and thoughtful thematic chapters, the book explores
the current state of knowledge related to untested kits, survivors,
and perpetrators, while also documenting fundamental and necessary
changes in how societal systems respond to rape. It provides an
opportunity to learn from our past, highlight what we could do
differently now, and envision a better future for victims of rape
and those tasked with ensuring justice. It may also serve as a
cautionary tale for those jurisdictions that have yet to face their
backlog or who have failed to embrace the practice and policy
changes that have emerged from the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative.
Sexual Assault Kits and Reforming the Response to Rape is essential
reading for practitioners (including law enforcement, prosecutors,
victim advocates, mental health providers, forensic nurses, and
forensic scientists), stakeholders, legislators, and policy makers.
It will also be of interest to upper-level students and scholars
working on interpersonal violence, gender-based violence, and
forensic nursing in social/behavioral science fields.
