Data were collected on these two types of assaults in a Michigan jurisdiction operating under model rape reform legislation. Case characteristics as well as case outcomes were compared. The chi-square and t-test analyses revealed differences as well as similarities. Differences were, for example, found in areas pertaining to evidence availability, victim credibility, and precipitation. Similarities were, however, observed in rates of warrant authorization/denial, plea bargaining, and dismissal, despite such elements as less available evidence in the Criminal Sexual Conduct (CSC) cases. Because both similarities and discrepancies in case treatment were found, it is concluded that the object of comparability was limitedly realized. Final comments offer directions for furthering the progress toward the more equitable handling of sexual assault crimes. (Author abstract)
