Researcher-Practitioner Partnership Is Addressing Issues of Unsubmitted KitsThe National Institute of Justice (NIJ) has formed the NIJ-FBI Sexual Assault Kit Partnership with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Laboratory in Quantico, VA, to help address one of the most difficult and complex issues facing our nation’s criminal justice system: sexual assault kits that have gone unsubmitted to forensic laboratories. Through the Partnership, the FBI Laboratory tests kits from law enforcement agencies and crime laboratories across the country to reduce the number of untested kits in the U.S. In a brand new video, we discuss how the NIJ-FBI Sexual Assault Kit Partnership plans to shed light on the complexities of sexual assault evidence processing and develop best practices that can improve the quality and speed of sexual assault kit testing. Learn how law enforcement agencies can submit sexual assault kits to be tested. |
