In this exploratory study we examine the practices surrounding with respect to standardization the administration and processing of the Sexual Assault Evidence Kit (SAEK). Despite the presumed scientific objectivity of this protocol, our survey of sexual assault nurses, physicians, police, and forensic scientists found that discretionary practices pervaded the evidentiary process. We argue that there must be greater awareness of the shaping of medicolegal evidence. Given the diverse characteristics of sexual assaults and of the health care needs of sexually assaulted women, we also suggest that it may be unreasonable to apply a single standard model of a rape kit.
在这项探索性研究中，我们考察了围绕性侵犯证据采集包（SAEK）管理与处理标准化的相关做法。尽管该协议假定具有科学客观性，但我们对性侵犯护士、医生、警察和法医科学家的调查发现，自由裁量做法在证据过程中普遍存在。我们认为，必须提高对法医学证据形成过程的认识。鉴于性侵犯的多样特征以及性侵犯女性的医疗保健需求，我们还建议，应用单一标准模式的强奸取证包可能不合理。
