In almost ,all States, the official State health agency is responsible for administering these grants; ,yet, experience in dealing with this health problem varies from State to State. To assist State health agencies, the Centers for Disease Control, specifically its Offit:e of the Director and its Center for Health Promotion and Education, have collaborated to identify relevant literature, pro­ grams, and services that relay information which might be of technical assistance to these agencies and help­ ful as initial resources. C' (, The abstracts included were obtained by a review of Federally operated computerized data bases as well as some private sector data bases. Abstracts located from the Federal sources, principally the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS) and the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC), were included without change, whereas items located in private data bases wen': obtained, reviewed, and abstracted; Information is provided indicating where the full report may be obtained as well as whom to contact for additional data on programs.

Munro * This article discusses the fi ndings of a study in which volunteers observed one of nine mini rape Downloaded from trial reconstructions, and were asked to deliberate as a group towards a verdict. In a context in which research with ‘ real ’ jurors is prohibited, these deliberations were analysed to better understand what goes on behind the closed doors of the jury room in rape cases. While previous research has established that jurors are often infl uenced by extra-legal factors relating to the complainant’s behaviour before an alleged attack, this study explored the impact of complainant conduct during http://bjc.oxfordjournals.org/ and post-assault on assessments of her credibility. More specifi cally, it examined the effects of (1) lack of physical resistance; (2) delayed reporting; and (3) calm emotional demeanour. Introduction Concern has long been expressed, in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, in regard to the legal processing of rape cases. The existence of institutionalized mythologies about the (in) at Central European University on December 7, 2012 credibility of a woman’s claim of rape has been highlighted and challenged, as has the high rate of attrition as cases ‘ fall out ’ of the formal criminal justice system (for England and Wales, see Gregory and Lees 1996 ; Harris and Grace 1999 ; Kelly et al. 2005 ). Indeed, despite the lack of evidence to suggest that false allegations are more common for rape than for other offences (Rumney 2006) — and the existence of substantial evidence that indicates that sexual assaults are, in fact, signifi cantly under-reported (see, e.g.

  • Examining the Effects of Two Sexual Assault/ Date Rape Interventions in a Population of College Freshmen
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: EXAMINING THE EFFECTS OF TWO SEXUAL ASSAULT/ DATE RAPE INTERVENTIONS IN A POPULATION OF COLLEGE FRESHMEN Jessica Brewster Jordan Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Directed By: Robin G. Sawyer, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of Public and Community Health Rape is committed more often than any other violent crime on college campuses. Over the years, various interventions have been developed to educate and positively change college students’ attitudes, beliefs, and behavioral intentions regarding sexual assault and date rape. Common educational strategies in the sexual assault and date rape programs include the use of films and/or peer educators to help dispel commonly held date rape myths, to improve attitudes and/or knowledge of rape, to decrease rape-related behavioral intentions, to improve communication about sexual decisions, and to increase self-efficacy towards resisting an unwanted sexual experience. However, many intervention studies lack evaluation data to demonstrate the effectiveness of these programs on college campuses. The purpose of this study was to evaluate two experimental conditions in a sample of freshmen students at the University of Maryland, College Park. One intervention group received a sexual assault/date rape educational film followed by participating in a peer-led discussion; the second intervention group received only a peer education presentation; and the control group received no treatment. Pretest and four- to six-week posttest evaluation surveys were administered to participants to determine the effects of the interventions on attitudes towards rape, rape-related behavioral intentions, and sexual communication self-efficacy. The statistical methods used to analyze these data were paired t-tests and nested ANCOVA models.

  • Child Sexual Abuse Evidence & Trial Court Procedure Issues
    Child Sexual Abuse Evidence & Trial Court Procedure Issues Judge Robert P. Ringland Revised July 2015 i PREFACE Child sexual abuse cases are one of the most challenging types of cases to deal with as an attorney or judge. This guide is designed to assist the bench and bar in addressing those evidentiary issues common to those cases. While most of the cases herein involve children I have occasionally mentioned cases involving adult victims where the holdings may pertain to child sexual abuse. I have, with rare exceptions, avoided reporting holdings involving prior acts under Evidence Rules 403-404 in as much as these cases are generally fact specific and are decided on a case by case basis. This bench book is hopefully designed to be a starting guide in research and certainly not as a final source. It is not designed to provide legal advice. I wish to acknowledge the following who have helped me compile these cases over the past 26 years: Sasha Blaine, Esq., Aaron Susmarski, Carolyn Besl, Esq., Joshua Vineyard, Esq., Daniel Linneman, Esq., Andrew Thaler, Esq., Laura Johnson, Esq., Kate Bedinghaus, Esq., Becky Carroll Hudson, Esq., Melissa Whalen, Esq., Terrance McQuown, Esq., Sally Moore, Esq. and Diana Thomas, Esq. and Ethan Miller. ii Table of Contents I.
