This tabulation volume presents findings from the 2015 QuickCompass of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response-Related Responders (2015 QSAPR) conducted by the Defense Research, Surveys, and Statistics Center (RSSC) within the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC). This survey was conducted at the request of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO) as part of its ongoing evaluation efforts of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) programs towards sexual assault prevention and survivor support. The survey was designed to provide insights about SAPR responders-Sexual Assault Response Coordinators (SARCs) and Victims Advocates (VAs)-at military installations worldwide, to understand how effectively responders are trained for their positions, and their perceptions of how well their program is supported and executed.

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.

Over the past 20 years, the field of victim services has grown from a small grassroots effort to an emerging profession. The advancement of the rights of victims, once achieved through adversarial struggles and lawsuits, is now accomplished through multidisciplinary efforts and collaborations among former adversaries throughout the country. Today there is greater understanding of victims issues due to legislation enacted to support victims rights, increased funding for victim services, and hard work by many victim advocates. Out of these efforts, understanding has grown and collaboration on behalf of victims is unprecedented. The publics awareness of crime victimization has developed largely due to accounts given by victims and survivors and the hard work and advocacy of the service providers working with them. As the victim services movement has grown, alliances and collaborations among service providers have increased. Out of the interrelationships among certain victimizations such as sexual assault, domestic violence, and partner, child, and elder abuse have grown new agendas for collaboration in advocacy, programming, legislation, and education.

On 21 May 1997 Air Force Chief of Staff Gen Ronald Fogelman testified before the Defense Subcommittee of the Senate Armed Services Committee. A tough, no nonsense fighter pilot, General Fogelman had become the chief three years earlier with the charge to restore accountability to an Air Force that had lost sight of its core values. The scheduled testimony was the budget and the impact to the Air Force of the recently published Quadrennial Defense Review. When the time came for Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) questions the hearing took a decided turn. Senator Harkin didn't ask about the F-22, the Joint Strike Fighter, or base realignment and closure, but about a court-martial at Minot AFB, North Dakota. He wanted to know about the Kelly Flinn case. With a basis of knowledge admittedly informed by media coverage, Senator Harkin expressed indignation. "General," he said, "How many attorneys do you have in the Air Force running around trying to find out how many people are committing adultery?"

This issue brief is the result of a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) National Institute of Justice (NIJ)-funded evaluation of the Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification (SAVIN) program administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). Funded in fall 2009, the purpose of this evaluation was to explore the implementation and operation of automated victim notification (AVN) systems in supporting victims of crime. This issue brief highlights some of the practices that jurisdictions can employ to enhance AVN services for victims. These practices are specific to AVN registration and notification, and incorporate findings from all phases of the evaluation.

Automated victim notification (AVN) is often touted as an effective and efficient means for providing victims timely and accurate information of their offenders court events and status changes at reduced burden to the criminal justice system. AVN systems, first introduced in 1994, operate by receiving electronic data (e.g., case number, offender demographics) from participating branches of the criminal justice system, coding the data to determine what type of notification is most appropriate based on the offenders status change (e.g., release, transfer), and then transmitting the data to registered users using standardized language. AVN systems also allow users to proactively check offender status through a secured website or by calling into a toll-free hotline where additional information and referrals may be available. oversight to 40 states and Puerto Rico, totaling more than $50 million. In 2009, the U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Justice funded ICF International to study the implementation and operation of AVN systems in supporting victims of crime. This report documents the methodology and findings from this evaluation and examines the implications for policy and practice.

The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) a major source of the Nations statistics on criminal victimization has undergone an extensive redesign. A collaborative effort on this redesign among several institutions and agencies, including the Bureau of Justice Statistics and the Bureau of the Census, began in the late 1970's and focused principally on improving the accuracy and utility of crime measurement. In 1992 the long-planned redesign of the survey was introduced for half of the sample in such a way that comparisons could be made. This report analyzes the differences in estimates from the two designs. In the discussion that follows, the survey prior to the redesign is referred to as the National Crime Survey (NCS), and that after the redesign is referred to as the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS).
