What special considerations should be made in dealing with the victim of a sexual assault?

What will be an ideal response?


Special challenges to investigating rape include the sensitive nature of the offense, social attitudes, and the victim's horror or embarrassment. A rape investigation requires great sensitivity. For example, the first officer arriving at the scene should announce himself clearly to allay fears the victim may have that the suspect is returning. The officer should also explain to the victim what is being done for her safety.
