Abstract
- It wasn't long ago that women and men who had been raped needed the bruises and cuts to prove the assault. A participant survey resulted in the NJEP publication Judges Tell: What I Wish I Had Known Before I Presided in an Adult Victim Sexual Assault Case, where they describe learning, for instance, that sexual assault is far more prevalent than the general public believes and that it's common for a victim to display a flat affect while testifying. "Judges have found this information very helpful in understanding victim behaviors that don't match common expectations about how sexual assault victims should behave during and after an assault", Schafran notes.
