    Open AccessTara N Richards, Michaela Elizabeth Benson-Goldsmith et al.ARTICLECrime & Delinquency2026

    Using data from the Minnesota sexual assault kit initiative (MN SAKI) project, we examined the predictors of victim notifications, processes, and the outcomes.

To understand the legal remedies available for voluntarily intoxicated victims’, this study explored state sexual assault laws across the United States of America. The results indicate that there exist significant short…

  • Exploring the Nature of Anti-trafficking Laws

    Caralin Branscum, Calli M Cain et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Trafficking2023

    The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 set the tone for anti-trafficking legislation nationwide. Though all states criminalized human trafficking by 2013, policy adoption has not been widespread. This matters because criminal justice actors are constrained in their ability to respond to human trafficking when policies are limited.

    Stalking began to be criminalized on the heels of news stories in the late 1980s in the United States of America (USA). Unfortunately, little is known about how states have responded to stalking, especially in light of its occurrence, harm, and case attrition in the criminal justice system. To explore these issues, the present study offers a content analysis of the USA’s state stalking statutes. Though innovative laws were observed, the Nation’s …
