Sexual violence against women is an ongoing issue in today’s society. These crimes leave survivors with psychological baggage they must learn to carry for the rest of their lives. Research supports the need for additional training for law enforcement as it can bring officers closer to the reality survivors are forced to live with after assault. This presentation will focus on how additional training for law enforcement can better the care we offer to survivors’ post-assault. Ultimately, a model for intervention is presented which operationalizes the effects of law enforcement and rape victim advocates on a survivor’s post-assault experience. The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of sexual assault in-service training for police officers. By analyzing the training law enforcement receives, we hope to find where the disconnect lies between law enforcement and sexual assault survivors. This will help further research regarding the stigma of reporting sexual assaults to the police, and the ways we can offer better care to victims following an assault.
