Replication Research on Sexual Violence Case Attrition Program

by: TopGovernmentGrants Editorial Staff

The Office of Justice Programs, otherwise known as OJP, is a federal government agency operating within the United States Department of Justice that's primarily responsible for the prevention of crimes through research and development, the provision of assistance to state and local law enforcement and criminal justice agencies through grants, and the provision of assistance to crime victims.

The grants and programs of the OJP are all geared towards the realization of its leading agency mission which is to "identify the most pressing crime-related challenges confronting the justice system and to provide information, training, coordination, and innovative strategies and approaches for addressing these challenges."

In keeping with this mission, the Office of Justice Programs has recently announced the establishment of the Replication Research on Sexual Violence Case Attrition Program in an attempt to fund one research grant that could replicate the National Institute of Justice's Police Decision-Making in Sexual Assault Cases: An Analysis of Crimes Reported to the Los Angeles Police Department.

The previous study, funded by the National Institute of Justice, utilized quantitative and qualitative methods in the process of determining the factors that increase the likelihood of case attrition at the law enforcement level with a particular focus on the exceptional clearance and unfounding of sexual assault cases.
