THE SEXUAL ASSAULT CARE CENTER GRANT HAS SHOWN SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN THE AREAS OF INTER-AGENCY COORDINATION AND COOPERATION, VICTIM SERVICES PROVISION, CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROCESSING OF SEXUAL ASSAULT CASES, ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY EDUCATION. WHILE MUCH OF THE PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO ASSIST THE SEXUAL ASSAULT VICTIM, THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS, IN RELATION TO LEAA GOALS, IS THE 37 PERCENT INCREASE IN REPORTING OF RAPE CASES AND THE DECREASE OF CASE 'DROPOUT' FROM 94 PERCENT TO 63 PERCENT. WHILE THE NUMBER OF PRESENT CASES WAS NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO DO A VALID STATISTICAL STUDY OF VICTIMS, OFFENDERS AND CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING SEXUAL ASSAULTS, IT WAS FELT THAT THE SAMPLE WOULD BE OF SUFFICIENT SIZE BY THE FALL OF 1975 TO COMPLETE SUCH A STUDY.(AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)....BDS
