Title: The Phenomenon of Untested Sexual Assault Kits
Description: This book examines the phenomenon of unsubmitted and untested sexual assault kits (SAKs). Beginning with an analysis of the background of the study, it examines feminist theory, functionalism, and resource dependence theory in relation to the phenomenon.The book highlights the existence of scholarly literature on the topic of sexual assault and what sexual assault encompasses, leading to the problem of unsubmitted and untested SAKs. Sexual assault is a global problem involving women and college students. Unfortunately, there are 400,000 SAKs nationwide in the US that remain unsubmitted or untested, therefore indicating serious gaps in the criminal justice system. The book shows the need for stakeholders who have an interest in the topic to collectively engage to acknowledge the systemic gaps, and provide resolution so that officials properly utilize SAKs to apprehend and empower victims to live healthy and functional lives.It recognizes and portrays the results of the study and suggests recommendation for future research. The book will be an instrumental tool for law enforcement officers, sexual assault detectives, forensic scientists, and sexual assault nurse examiners to understand the perceptions of law enforcement as to what caused the phenomenon and how to prevent it in the future.
