Patterns Of Sexual Offending, Rachel Lovell, Fred Butcher, Daniel Flannery, Laura Overman, Tiffany Walker
Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education Reports and Briefs
This report describes patterns of sexual offending. The exploratory examination of the typology of offending helps describe different types of sexual assaults by providing context behind how these different types of sexual assaults occur and who the offenders may be. Guided by the scientific literature on sexual assaults and violence against women, we examined data on our sample of 243 Sexual Assault Kits (SAKs) to discern a pattern for four types of sexual assaults: sexual assaults that involve kidnapping, sexual assaults committed by strangers, sexual assaults committed by multiple offenders, and sexual assaults that involve captivity.

What Happened With The Sexual Assaults Reports? Then Vs. Now, Rachel Lovell, Daniel Flannery, Laura Overman, Tiffany Walker
Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education Reports and Briefs
This report provides data describing how sexual assault reports from the unsubmitted sexual assault kits that were not previously indicted were initially processed through the system from the Reporting Phase, to the Initial Investigative Phase, and the Prosecution Phase. We then track what is currently happening with these cases as part of the Cuyahoga County Sexual Assault Kit (SAK) Pilot Research Project.
Tactics Of Sexual Control And Negative Health Outcomes, Anna Elizabeth Kleppe
Tactics Of Sexual Control And Negative Health Outcomes, Anna Elizabeth Kleppe
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Intimate partner sexual violence (IPSV) is a concerning, yet relatively understudied form of intimate partner violence (IPV). Furthermore, the majority of research regarding sexual violence fails to differentiate between different forms of control used to facilitate this violence. Although IPV has been linked to a multitude of adverse physical and health outcomes, it is less clear how these outcomes vary by type of control experienced. Using data from the 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS), the current study examines the physical and non-physical tactics used to facilitate sexual violence, and the associated health outcomes. Potential gender differences …
Cost Savings And Cost Effectiveness Of The Cuyahoga County Sexual Assault Kit Task Force, Rachel Lovell, Mendel Singer, Daniel Flannery
Cost Savings And Cost Effectiveness Of The Cuyahoga County Sexual Assault Kit Task Force, Rachel Lovell, Mendel Singer, Daniel Flannery
Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education Reports and Briefs
We conducted an analysis of the cost savings and cost effectiveness of the Cuyahoga County Sexual Assault Kit (SAK) Task Force on all unsubmitted SAKs tested as of January 1, 2016. We explored the total tangible and intangible costs to victims associated with unsubmitted SAKs and the total cost of testing and investigated those SAKs. Our analysis estimates the total cost savings of future sexual assaults averted due to the SAK Task Force as of January 1, 2016 is $48.2 million dollars. Conservative estimates suggest the SAK Task Force’s efforts will produce a net savings of $38.7 million dollars to …

Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education Reports and Briefs
This brief provides a description of the data, sampling, methods, and data limitations of the SAK Pilot Research Project. Utilizing data provided by the Prosecutor’s office via an electronic database of documents used for prosecution, the Begun Center research team gleaned information about the investigative process and entered these data into a quantitative database. The Pilot Research Project focuses on unsubmitted SAKs with completed investigations as of August 2015.
Cuyahoga County Sexual Assault Kit (Sak) Pilot Project: Report On Victims, Rachel Lovell, Fred Butcher, Daniel Flannery
Cuyahoga County Sexual Assault Kit (Sak) Pilot Project: Report On Victims, Rachel Lovell, Fred Butcher, Daniel Flannery
Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education Reports and Briefs
This brief provides a description of these victims in terms of their demographics, criminal history prior to and after the sexual assault, relationship to the offender, and degree of perceived cooperation during the initial investigation in the 243 sexual assaults analyzed for the SAK Pilot Research Project.
Cuyahoga County Sexual Assault Kit (Sak) Pilot Project: Report On Serial And One-Time Sexual Offenders, Rachel Lovell, Fred Butcher, Daniel Flannery
Cuyahoga County Sexual Assault Kit (Sak) Pilot Project: Report On Serial And One-Time Sexual Offenders, Rachel Lovell, Fred Butcher, Daniel Flannery
Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education Reports and Briefs
This brief provides a comparison of serial offenders and one-time offenders in terms of their demographics, criminal histories prior to and after the assault, relationship to the offender, and modus operandi in the 243 sexual assaults analyzed for the SAK Pilot Research Project. Serial offender status was determined based on the number of CODIS hits or sexual offense arrests in the offender’s criminal history.
The Cuyahoga County Sexual Assault Kit (Sak) Task Force : Describing The Process Of Testing, Investigating, And Prosecuting Unsubmitted Saks, Rachel Lovell, Fred Butcher, Daniel Flannery
The Cuyahoga County Sexual Assault Kit (Sak) Task Force : Describing The Process Of Testing, Investigating, And Prosecuting Unsubmitted Saks, Rachel Lovell, Fred Butcher, Daniel Flannery
Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education Reports and Briefs
As of 2015, all 4,845 unsubmitted SAKs from 1993 to 2010 from Cuyahoga County have been submitted to BCI for testing. To assist the Prosecutor’s Office in streamlining their efforts, researchers at the Begun Center mapped each step of the process from Testing to Disposition. Utilizing data provided by CCPO, this brief illustrates how SAKs move through the four main phases of this process—Testing, Investigation, Prosecution, and Disposition. As a SAK proceeds through the process it (potentially) changes from (1) a SAK, (2) an investigation, (3) a prosecution, and (4) a final disposition.
