Fair Adjudication of Sexual Assault Cases

In sexual assault cases, there are often deeply held stereotypes and misconceptions that can undermine the judicial process, especially with regards to intimate partner rape or non-stranger rape.  Often these myths undermine victims' credibility and make securing convictions difficult.

Since its inception, NJEP has developed curricula focused on providing the factual information judges need to conduct a fair process and we suggest procedures to minimize victim retraumatization without undermining the defendants' rights.
