TOOL
One key to ensuring effective investigation of sexual assault kits (SAKs) is to have a strong foundation and understanding of DNA testing. This document highlights the process of testing DNA samples obtained from SAKs and the workflow required to analyze the evidence and report the findings.
Funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative aims to create a coordinated community response that ensures just resolution to sexual assault cases. Through this program, funding is provided to support multidisciplinary community response teams engaged in the comprehensive reform of jurisdictions approaches to sexual assault cases resulting from evidence found in previously unsubmitted sexual assault kits.
