THE PROGRAM CONSISTS OF 60 SLIDES WITH AN AUDIOCASSETTE. IT WAS PRODUCED BY THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CHIEFS OF POLICE. RAPE IS DEFINED AS A SEXUAL ACT COMMITTED WITHOUT THE FEMALE'S CONSENT. THE INVESTIGATOR'S FIRST RESPONSIBILITY AFTER ARRIVING AT THE SCENCE OF THE CRIME IS TO HELP THE VICTIM. NEXT, THE INVESTIGATOR SHOULD SECURE THE CRIME SCENCE, OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THE ASSAILANT, AND OBTAIN A WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM THE ATTENDING PHYSICIAN CORROBORATING THE CHARGE OF RAPE. THE CRIME SCENE, THE VICTIM'S BODY AND CLOTHING, AND HAIR, BLOOD, SEMEN, FLESH, AND FABRIC WILL ALL BE IMPORTANT SOURCES OF CLUES. WHEN THE VICTIM IS INTERVIEWED, A THIRD PERSON SHOULD BE PRESENT TO PREVENT ACCUSATIONS BY THE VICTIM OF MISCONDUCT BY THE INVESTIGATOR. THE INVESTIGATOR SHOULD USE CORRECT TECHNICAL TERMS, DEVELOP QUESTIONS ACCORDING TO THE VICTIM'S CAPABILITY OF UNDERSTANDING, AND TRY TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE ACCUSATION IS FALSE. IN ANY CASE, A COMPLAINT OF RAPE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BONA FIDE UNTIL A COMPLETE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION SUBSTANTIATES OR DISPROVES THE CHARGE. THE BOOKLET PRESENTS EACH SLIDE AND THE SCRIPT ACCOMPANYING IT, AS WELL AS BLANK SPACE FOR COMMENTS BY THE INSTRUCTOR. (CFW)
