The Neurobiology of Sexual Assault: Implications for Law Enforcement, Prosecution, and Victim Advocacy

Dr. Rebecca Campbell, Professor of Psychology, Michigan State University brings together research on the neurobiology of trauma and the criminal justice response to sexual assault. She explains the underlying neurobiology of traumatic events, its emotional and physical manifestation, and how these processes can impact the investigation and prosecution of sexual assaults. Real-world, practical implications are examined for first responders, such as law enforcement, nurses, prosecutors, and advocates.
