Description

Sexual assault is a crime that has a far-reaching negative impact on individuals, families, and communities, and has additional implications for the military services.Since 2004, following a series of high-profile sexual assault cases, Congress has taken steps to address this crime in the military, including passing legislation that directed the Sec. of Defense to develop a comprehensive policy for the Dept. of Defense (DOD) on the prevention of, and response to, sexual assaults involving members of the Armed Forces. DOD established the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) program in 2005 to promote prevention, encourage increased reporting of the crime, and improve response capabilities for victims. While DOD strives to promote a culture free of sexual assault, these assaults still occur. This report provides information based on GAOäó»s prior work on how cases of sexual assault in the military are reported, documented, and investigated; how servicemembers are trained on sexual assault prevention and response; and the availability of health care for sexual assault victims. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
