It looks at the impact sexual assault has on the victim, as well as on society and the criminal justice system.

From the Paper:

"Sexual Assault impacts nearly every person in America in some way because a total of 17.7 million women have been victims of these crimes. That's one out of every six American women. Unfortunately, we all know someone that has been a victim of this in some fashion. Sexual assault is not limited to the poor or undereducated, it can happen at every level of social, economic, and educational strata. There are no monetary, ethnic, or religious connections that create attackers. They can be the college boy next door, or the professor of a major university, a car salesman, or a major sports icon, multi-million dollar a year financial advisor, or a cable TV repairman."
