THE PROJECT WAS DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE AID AND SUPPORT TO VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ABUSE AND TO ENHANCE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM EFFORTS TO REDUCE THE INCIDENCE OF RAPE IN THE COUNTY. THE EVALUATORS CONCLUDED FROM A DATA ANALYSIS THAT RAPE RELIEF HAS HAD LITTLE IMPACT ON THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM OR ON THE INCIDENCE OF RAPE IN PIERCE COUNTY. HOWEVER, RAPE REPORTED TO RAPE RELIEF HAS INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY, AND RAPE RELIEF CASES WHICH WERE PROSECUTED WERE MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN NON-RAPE RELIEF PROSECUTIONS. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)...KAP
