Victim Participation in Sexual Assault Cases: The Importance of Investigative Actions and Victim Support
Victim participation has been found to be one of the most important predictors of sexual assault case progression. Previous research has identified a number of factors that predict victim participation in sexual assault cases. However, further research is needed to examine the effects of investigator actions and victim support on participation. A random sample of sexual assault reports was gathered from one police department in the western U.S. T…
A prosecutor's “ideal” sexual assault case: A mixed‐method approach to understanding sexual assault case processing
Research continues to explore factors that contribute to high rates of attrition among sexual assault cases. Comparatively little is known, however, about prosecutorial, as opposed to police, decision‐making in these cases. Using a mixed‐method approach to analyze (1) 175 case files from a midsize policing agency in the West with trained sexual assault investigators and (2) detailed prosecutor notes from 52 corresponding cases, we explore pattern…
Sex-Based Predictors of Male and Female Property Crime Arrest Rates: Disadvantage and Drug Use
A large body of research has considered the relationship between crime and structural indicators. However, despite trends in the gender gap in offending, fewer studies have separately examined the effects of structural variables on both male and female offending. The present study examined that question through a macro-level examination of property crime across large U.S. cities using data from the Uniform Crime Report and the American Community …
The Texas Children’s Hospital Immunization Forecaster: Conceptualization to Implementation
Objectives. Immunization forecasting systems evaluate patient vaccination histories and recommend the dates and vaccines that should be administered. We described the conceptualization, development, implementation, and distribution of a novel immunization forecaster, the Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) Forecaster. Methods. In 2007, TCH convened an internal expert team that included a pediatrician, immunization nurse, software engineer, and immuni…
Traditional Gender Role and Rape Myth Acceptance: From the Countryside to the Big City
Previous research on rape myths has identified a positive correlation between the acceptance of traditional gender roles and rape myths. Based on earlier research citing the prevalence of these gender roles among rural cultures, it was hypothesized that individuals from rural-farm areas would be more accepting of traditional gender roles and rape myths than their more urban counterparts. Contrary to previous literature on the rural culture milieu…
