Evaluation is an important part of our work – it can show us where we excel and where we need to make changes. It can also let us know if we are creating the changes we are hoping to see with our prevention work. And, unless you are working closely with an evaluator, you probably are the person in charge of your program evaluation. If this sounds like you, this Data Analysis Series is here to help.

Following the announcement of a mistrial in Bill Cosby’s criminal trial, we’re reminded that while the criminal justice system is an important venue for survivors to seek justice and healing, it cannot be the only one — and it cannot become more effective in a vacuum. We all have a role to play in making our communities safer and more supportive of survivors. Only then will survivors find real justice.
The Cosby trial demonstrated the widespread challenges encountered by victims of sexual assault and prosecutors across the

Netflix docu-series The Keepers dives into the unsolved murder of Sister Cathy Cesnik, a beloved young English teacher at an all-girls Catholic high school in the sixties. The series begins with a look at the amateur investigation that two of Sister’s Cathy’s former students are leading in an attempt to solve the murder and find closure for themselves and Sister Cathy’s family.
The series takes an unexpected turn when it’s revealed that Sister Cathy may have been poised to expose a web of sexual violence occurring at the high school allegedly led by two of the school’s priests. Throughout the

Every victim responds to sexual assault differently.
Some victims may tell others they were sexually assaulted right away, but most do not. Many victims will wait weeks, months, or even years before discussing the assault with anyone. Most victims never make any formal report.
Disclosure is a process.
When reports are made, delayed and partial reports are normal and

High-profile cases in the media are an opportunity to educate the public about the realities of sexual assault. NSVRC provides expert context and research for reporters to cover sexual violence with context and credibility.

Let’s be clear.
Showing romantic interest does not guarantee the other person is receptive or willing to consent to sexual contact. Someone, like Cosby in this trial,
