Domestic violence and sexual assault are
violent criminal events that occur with
alarming frequency across the United States. Effectively
responding to and investigating these
crimes is absolutely necessary to assure the
safety of communities, families and individual
victims. However, understanding the dynamics
of both criminal offenses is equally important, as is effectively
and compassionately interacting with the victims
of such criminal assaults.
This two-day class will provide attendees with
the information needed to not only respond
and investigate domestic violence and sexual
assault cases effectively, but also to understand
the contributing factors to such crimes and
the importance of approaching and dealing with these
events professionally and thoroughly.
