Advocacy and Investigation: Identifying the Unique but Complementary Roles in Sexual Assault Response

When law enforcement officers and victim advocates work together to establish a support system for sexual assault victims, the resulting partnership strengthens investigations and benefits victims’ recovery. This resource provides guidance to jurisdictions regarding how to assist law enforcement officers and victim advocates in developing collaborative relationships while maintaining their unique roles in the criminal justice process, and how to resolve conflicts that may arise between the two disciplines.
