Serial rapists under the microscope at universities

Posted on February 7, 2017June 29, 2020 by ryancrimlaw

Campus sexual assaults have dominated the news for the past couple of years.

Posted on January 30, 2017June 29, 2020 by ryancrimlaw

A federal appeals court overruled a lower court ruling which invalidated the Minnesota civil detention program for sex offenders.

Posted on October 10, 2016June 29, 2020 by ryancrimlaw

A police department in Oregon is experimenting with a new method to report sexual assault incidents. Survivors of sexual assault continue to face extreme barriers to reporting these crimes including cultural stigma, victim shaming and becoming re-traumatized as they report the crime.

What is the risk of recidivism for online sex crimes?

Posted on August 21, 2016June 29, 2020 by ryancrimlaw

The Office of Justice Programs conducted a macro-study of several initial studies to delve into rates of recidivism for online sex offenses.

Study finds 64 percent decline in sexual assault against females

Posted on July 10, 2016June 29, 2020 by ryancrimlaw

Sex crimes and the Internet

Posted on May 9, 2016June 29, 2020 by ryancrimlaw
