Sexual Assault Resources

Understanding Sexual Violence is the overarching title of the materials NJEP has developed to educate the judicial, legal and criminal justice communities, as well as society at large, about sexual assault. These materials explore how rape and sexual assault cases can be handled so as to minimize retraumatization of victims without undermining defendants' constitutional rights.  All of these materials are appropriate for multidisciplinary use.
