The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) offers a grant to replicate an NIJ-funded study, ‘Police Decision-Making in Sexual Assault Cases.’ This grant is for replicating the 2006-2008 Los Angeles study across 6 to 8 new sites, encompassing urban, suburban, and rural areas. Applicants should aim to duplicate the original mixed-methods design and analytic approach. The primary goal is to broaden understanding of sexual violence case attrition by validating previous findings in diverse contexts. This research will enhance knowledge of police decision-making processes in sexual assault investigations nationally, building upon established methodologies to inform future strategies.
