Research and Evaluation Priorities

NIJ's work has expanded knowledge of all aspects of sexual violence prevention and response and identified several strategic research priorities. These priorities include:

Supporting research about:

• The nature, incidence, and prevalence of sexual violence.
• Sexual violence within diverse communities.
• The nature, incidence and prevalence of sexual violence on college campuses.

Evaluating:

• Sexual assault prevention programs.
• Public policies that focus on sexual violence and sexually violent offenders.
• System responses to sexual violence.
• Use of technology and forensic science to respond to sexual violence.
