Throughout the United States, hundreds of thousands of sexual assault kits (SAKs) have not been submitted by the police for forensic DNA testing, which raises complex issues regarding how victims ought to be notified about what happened to their kits. In this project, we evaluated a victim-centered, trauma-informed victim notification protocol that was implemented in Detroit, Michigan. Most victims (84%) did not have a strong negative emotional reaction to notification, and most (57%) decided to reengage with the criminal justice system. Victims of nonstranger sexual assaults were less likely to reengage postnotification compared with victims of stranger rape.
在美国各地，警方有数以十万计的性侵犯证据采集包（SAK）未提交进行法医DNA检测，这引发了关于应如何通知受害者其采集包情况的复杂问题。在这个项目中，我们评估了在密歇根州底特律实施的以受害者为中心、考虑创伤因素的受害者通知协议。大多数受害者（84%）对通知没有强烈的负面情绪反应，并且大多数（57%）决定重新参与刑事司法系统。与陌生人强奸受害者相比，非陌生人性侵犯的受害者在接到通知后重新参与的可能性较小。
