· In Chapter 7, we explore sexual victimization. How can the criminal justice system improve its response to sexual assault cases to better support victims and increase reporting rates?
· What are some of the barriers victims of intimate partner violence face when trying to leave abusive relationships, as discussed in Chapter 8? What solutions or resources would you recommend overcoming these barriers?
