The Department of Defense (DoD) has a strong commitment to providing Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) resources and services to all military members who report a sexual assault. Over the years, the Department, under the guidance of the DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO), has worked to create and improve programs in an effort to provide support to military sexual assault survivors. The Military Investigation and Justice Experience Survey (MIJES) is an anonymous survey and the first DoD-wide survey effort designed to assess the investigative and legal processes experienced by military members that have made a formal report of sexual assault, have gone through the military investigation process, and who have agreed to voluntarily participate in this survey. Administered between fiscal years 2015 and 2016 (FY15 and FY16, respectively), the 2015 MIJES reflects the attitudes and opinions of 323 military members who brought forward a report of sexual assault to military officials and completed the military justice process from investigation to case closure. This is the only formal assessment of this population across all military Services, including active duty and Reserve component members.

The President of the United States issued a call to action in 2010 for more emphasis on eradicating sexual assault on college campuses and in the U.S. military. As college and military leaders seek improvements in prevention, reporting, and response they must enhance training and raise awareness through their Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) programs. This thesis analyzed 16 SAPR program websites from selected universities, non-profit organizations and the Department of Defense (DOD) to identify best practices and provide recommendations for restructuring the Navy (N17) SAPR website. Specifically, a website analytic metric was developed and used to evaluate each of the 16 selected websites on six different dimensions: access, navigation, content, visual design, interaction, and credibility. For each dimension, best practices for SAPR program websites were identified across the university, non-profit, and DOD organizations. Additionally, common themes were organized for comparison to the Navy (N17) SAPR website. Results show that although N17 s attempts at providing resources in combating sexual assault are commendable, when compared to best practice websites the U.S. Navy s (N17) SAPR website lacked many characteristics that would make it most effective. Particularly, the Navy (N17) website lacks several user-centric best practices and the tools that do exist on the website are limited when compared to the promising practice websites. Specific recommendations are provided to improve the Navy (N17) SAPR website.

The Sexual Assault and Trauma Resource Center (SATRC) of Rhode Island contracted with BOTEC Analysis Corporation with funding from the National Institute of Justice to undertake an evaluation of the principal legal effects on clients of the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) operated by the Sexual Assault and Trauma Resource Center. Local police, in the United States, have the unique role of determining the pool of defendants in crime investigations, given the ability and willingness of the victim to confirm them. Prosecutors then guided by the informal norms of the courtroom workgroup and their discretion choose from the pool of defendants. Police decisions to arrest and the prosecutors decision to file a felony complaint in sexual assaults constitute the primary official screening of these crimes. In the past 25 or more years, the criminal justice system has reformed sexual assault laws and communities have developed programs, such as rape crisis centers, and SART and Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) programs, which are designed to provide catalysts to the effects of legal reforms.

Sexual assault is a crime that has no place in the Department of Defense (DoD). It is an attack on the values we defend and on the cohesion our units demand, and forever changes the lives of victims and their families. In 2005, the Department established the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) program to promote prevention, encourage increased reporting of the crime, and improve response capabilities for victims. The DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO) is responsible for the policies that define the SAPR program and the oversight activities that assess its effectiveness. Federal law requires the Department to provide Congress with an annual report on sexual assaults involving members of the Armed Forces. This report presents the Department s programmatic activities and provides analysis of reports of sexual assault made during fiscal year (FY) 2012 (October 1, 2011, through September 30, 2012). Enclosed within this report are supplementary reports from the Secretaries of the Military Departments and the Chief of the National Guard Bureau. Additionally, this year s report assesses the Department s progress in the areas of prevention, reporting, response, and improved knowledge of SAPR using the results of the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) 2012 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members (WGRA), 2012 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Reserve Component Members (WGRR), and the 2012 QuickCompass of Sexual Assault Response Coordinators (QSARC). Also enclosed are data and analysis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) technical report, Prevalence of Intimate Partner Violence, Stalking, and Sexual Violence Among Active Duty Women and Wives of Active Duty Men Comparisons with Women in U.S. General Population, 2010, and the Report on Department of Defense Policy Required by Section 578, FY2013 NDAA.

The Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) conducted several studies to assess the presence of nonresponse bias in estimates from the 2012 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members (2012 WGRA). The objective of this research was to assess the extent of nonresponse bias for the estimated rate of unwanted sexual contact (USC rate) in the active duty military. The level of nonresponse bias (NRB) can vary for every question on the survey, but DMDC focused on the USC rate because this is the central question on the survey. Nonresponse bias occurs when survey respondents are systematically different from the nonrespondents. Nonresponse bias can occur with high or low survey response rates, but the decrease in survey response rates in the past decade has resulted in a greater focus on potential NRB. DMDC investigated the presence of nonresponse bias using many different methods, and this paper summarizes various methods and results.

This report presents findings from the 2015 Focus Groups on Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (2015 FGSAPR) study, which collected qualitative feedback from military members through focus groups using trained moderators to facilitate discussion on these topics. The 2015 FGSAPR was generated in response to ongoing National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) requirements and guidance from a Secretary of Defense Directive (Secretary of Defense, 2014). The Defense Research, Surveys, and Statistics Center (RSSC) within the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) was tasked with this effort. The goal of the 2015 FGSAPR effort was to engage in small group discussions with military members across the Department of Defense (DoD) on issues related to sexual assault. These structured discussions were designed to better understand how recent changes in sexual assault policies and programs have impacted military members and their workplace environment, as well as, address the military's climate of sexual assault response and prevention.

Sexual assault is a terrible crime that not only causes traumatic damage to a victim, but also may negatively impact a victim's family and friends. In the Marine Corps, it may even cripple an entire command. The Marine Corps takes pride in its history and traditions, especially for possessing an exceptional degree of camaraderie. Historically, the Marine Corps has been known as: 'A Force in Readiness,' 'A Few Good Men,' and 'First to Fight.' Now, the Marine Corps is also being recognized, especially by the media, and through various random surveys, for having a sexual assault problem within its ranks. There is much criticism due to Marines hurting one another, as evidenced by an increase in sexual assaults reported, 333 in fiscal year (FY) 11, reported over the last few years. Though it may appear the amount of sexual assaults reported have increased in the Marine Corps, there is substantial evidence it is the result of: better reporting, an increase in awareness training, and better response measures being taken. The Marine Corps has made arduous efforts to: clearly define sexual assault, provide Marines better guidance for reporting restricted and unrestricted reports, improve training standards, provide the best victim services, . properly conduct investigations, hold offenders accountable, and properly account for reports of sexual assault through a credible tracking system.
