Victim Notification | ENDTHEBACKLOG

NEWS FROM THE JOYFUL HEART FOUNDATION

We are proud to present Navigating Notification: A Guide to Re-engaging Sexual Assault Survivors Affected by the Untested R**e Kit Backlog. This report, generously supported by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, will help communities working to eliminate their backlogs of untested r**e kits create survivor-centered, trauma-informed policies and protocols for victim notification.

Since 2010, the Joyful Heart Foundation has made the elimination of the r**e kit backlog—hundreds of thousands of untested r**e kits across the country—a top priority. As state and local jurisdictions have begun to process their untested r**e kits, they are faced with many complex questions about how to re-engage survivors whose kits have languished untested for years or even decades.

Notifying survivors after so many years have passed is a crucial choice point along the journey toward comprehensive r**e kit reform. Survivors must be at the heart of these choices. To establish these best-practice recommendations for victim notification, Joyful Heart partnered with researcher Dr. Courtney Ahrens of California State University at Long Beach to bring together the voices of over 90 survivors and criminal justice, medical, academic, clinical and advocacy professionals. These recommendations include who should conduct notification, how it should happen, when it should occur and what resources should be offered.

"As both a survivor of sexual assault and of the r**e kit backlog, I am proud to have participated with so many powerful voices for change in service of Navigating Notification," said Natasha Alexenko. "Being notified of the progress of my case after nearly 15 years of waiting for justice is a moment I will carry with me forever. Creating a standard to the practice of survivor notification is a watershed moment for so many of us. Reform is long overdue, and I hope this report helps to bring systemic change to the way survivors are treated in untested r**e kit cases."

Today, we are honored to share with you the finished report at: http://www.endthebacklog.org/information-survivors/victim-notification?utm_source=03-2016-vn-report%20&utm_medium=eblast&utm_campaign=jhf-etb-outreach

One of Joyful Heart’s priorities is to draw attention to the need to ensure that survivors are notified about the status of their r**e kits, a process referred to as victim notification.

Services for IPV Victims: Encouraging Stronger Research Methods to Produce More Valid Results

Using Randomized Controlled Trials to Evaluate Victims’ Services

Six out of every 1,000 women experienced intimate partner violence in 2010. Victim advocates want to provide the most effective services available to help address these victims with their physical, emotional and financial suffering. One of the best ways to learn which services provide the most relief and which are most cost-effective is to conduct a randomized controlled trial.+

NIJ is committed to helping victims by supporting research that measures how well services increase safety, provide victims’ knowledge about legal options, and help them recover from victimization. A new NIJ Journal article discusses using more rigorous research methods to evaluate victims’ services programs and their effectiveness.

Read more at: http://www.nij.gov/journals/274/Pages/ipv-victim-services.aspx

More efforts should be made to use rigorous research methods like RCTs when evaluating victims' services programs.

Working With Victims in Cold Hit DNA Cases

Today, at 2 p.m. (eastern time), the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) will present a Web Forum discussion with Ilse Knecht and Michele Mallin on best practices for working with victims in cold hit DNA cases.

Ms. Knecht is the Deputy Director of Public Policy for the National Center for Victims of Crime (NCVC) and Project Manager for NCVC’s multiyear DNA education initiative. For the past 3 years, she has also served as the Project Manager for an Office on Violence Against Women grant to ensure a victim-centered response to the problem of backlogged and untested sexual assault kits. Ms Knecht has authored several brochures about the use of DNA in the criminal justice system, including one specifically focused on notifying crime victims in cold hit cases.

Ms. Mallin is a survivor of a r**e committed in 1985 in Lubbock, Texas, for which the wrong man was tried and convicted. Although the true perpetrator confessed to the crime in 1995, the confession was ignored until 2008, when the wrongful conviction was confirmed through DNA testing. Since 2008, Ms. Mallin has spoken at venues and conferences throughout the country regarding the need for DNA testing and changes in laws regarding witness identification reform and the use of proper police procedures.
