<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">The Policy Executive Research Forum recently released a new resource on the criminal justice system’s response to sexual assault. I’ve not reviewed all 156 pages, but I’m encouraged
by the recommendations regarding trauma-informed and victim-inclusive policies, protocols, and training. While this Guidebook is written for law enforcement officers and 911-call takers, many of its observations and recommendations should be implemented by
prosecutors and other professionals who work with and within the criminal justice system on DV/SA cases.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="A4"><i><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">“…Put simply, sexual assault is a violent crime that can have a tremendous and long-lasting impact on a person’s health and quality of life, and victims might not act in ways
they are expected to act in the immediate aftermath of the crime. In fact, victims might behave in ways that seem counterintuitive. While research on the neurobiology of trauma can help explain the impact of sexual assault on memory and behavior, it is important
that responding officers and investigators understand that a victim’s self-protective measures in the wake of a sexual assault might not comport with other people’s expectations or the objectives of the justice system.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></span></p>
