It is intended to cover best practices in law enforcement response to sexual assault across the globe, including laws, policies and programs.Ten multilingual graduate students in the capstone seminar of the Master of Arts Degree Program in International Crime and Justice at John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY) established criteria for inclusion and standardized elements for each entry in this catalog. The ultimate aim of the catalog was to find and highlight best practices of law enforcement in responding to sexual assault from around the globe, from regions with low to high resource levels, so as to aid countries who wish to improve their police response to victims of sexual assault.
