The article found that the CVSATF Report covered a large scope of factors that contribute to sexual violence but the report omitted or failed to state that sexual assaults occur because perpetrators choose to commit these crimes. The omission of sex offender dynamics and responsibility along with the lack of expert knowledge from individuals that treat sex offenders has enormous implications that may ultimately undermine the ability of DOD to establish effective policies. The analysis highlights problems with the DOD CVSATF recommendations. The CVSATF Report was ordered by the Secretary of Defense and prepared in February 2004. The Report was the result of a 90-day review of all sexual assault policies and programs among the armed services. Limitations of the study are discussed. References
