Every 68 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted. Rape culture refers to the set of societal attitudes and beliefs that normalize sexual violence. By recognizing how these myths and misperceptions perpetuate harmful gender stereotypes, victim blaming, objectification, and failure to protect vulnerable populations we can challenge implicit biases that adversely affect victim’s interaction with law enforcement. Furthermore, by understanding the impact of trauma on the brain and promoting advocacy collaboration, law enforcement can build rapport, increase victim participation, and enhance investigations thus improving outcomes in pursuing justice.

Arresting the wrong party can have devastating consequences not only for the victim, but for the criminal justice system’s ability to hold the offender accountable.

The use of strangulation as a form of domestic violence is an undeniable red flag for future violence and homicide—not only for the victim, but our communities as a whole. Although strangulation is a felony in Texas, this crime is too often overlooked due to elusive evidence and the already complicated dynamics of domestic violence crimes. It is imperative that our criminal justice system has the training and tools to hold society’s most dangerous offenders accountable.

Understanding trauma’s impact on the brain is vital for effectively responding to the traumatized victims we encounter every day. Without a trauma-informed framework, a first responder can unwittingly become the first link in a long chain of re-traumatizing individuals, processes, and events that victims often find themselves navigating. By recognizing the impact of trauma and helping victims of crime feel heard within the criminal justice system, we can increase the rate of success in investigating and prosecuting sexual assault and domestic violence cases.
