Definition

  • Victims of sexual assault and other bodily crimes have extensive post-assault medical needs, including injury detection and care, medical forensic examination, screening and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), as well as pregnancy testing and emergency contraception. Because of the traumatic nature of sexual assaults, victims may also develop mental health issues. [Source: Encyclopedia of Victimology and Crime Prevention; Medical and Mental Health Services]
