CJ470 Investigation of Sex Crimes

Recent statistics reveal that just slightly more than half of reported rape cases result in the arrest of a suspect. These statistics become even more troubling when realizing that less than half of all rapes believed to occur are reported to law enforcement officials. Concurrent with the increasing numbers of rape victims, there has been a burgeoning of research into myriad factors interwoven with sexual violence and its aftermath. This course will provide an understanding of the latest research and guidelines concerning the investigation of sex crimes.
