This training provides a comprehensive guide to conducting sexual assault investigations using a trauma-informed lens. It details how trauma fundamentally alters brain chemistry, affecting memory and behavior in ways that often lead to investigative misunderstandings. Participants will learn to identify common pitfalls such as misinterpreting delayed reporting or continued contact with an offender. The course covers the neurological impact of trauma, best practices for victim interviewing, and strategies for collecting comprehensive evidence beyond physical injury. By shifting away from traditional myths and biases, investigators can increase victim cooperation, improve case accuracy, and achieve more successful outcomes in intimate partner sexual assault cases.
