Injury Evidence, Biological Evidence, and Prosecution of Sexual Assault

Recent grant publication out of NIJ that might be of interest to some of you: Injury Evidence, Biological Evidence, and Prosecution of Sexual Assault (PDF). Another contributor to the question of criminal justice outcomes, it might be a good one to share with your SART or MDT. Not a huge sample size, and I have a few questions about the analysis of their findings, but what particularly caught my eye was the following: “The study found that victim-injury-evidence variables and most biological-evidence variables were not statistically related to criminal justice outcomes.”
