Department of Defense Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military, Fiscal Year 2012. Volume 1

Abstract

Sexual assault is a crime that has no place in the Department of Defense (DoD). It is an attack on the values we defend and on the cohesion our units demand, and forever changes the lives of victims and their families. In 2005, the Department established the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) program to promote prevention, encourage increased reporting of the crime, and improve response capabilities for victims. The DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO) is responsible for the policies that define the SAPR program and the oversight activities that assess its effectiveness. Federal law requires the Department to provide Congress with an annual report on sexual assaults involving members of the Armed Forces. This report presents the Department s programmatic activities and provides analysis of reports of sexual assault made during fiscal year (FY) 2012 (October 1, 2011, through September 30, 2012). Enclosed within this report are supplementary reports from the Secretaries of the Military Departments and the Chief of the National Guard Bureau. Additionally, this year s report assesses the Department s progress in the areas of prevention, reporting, response, and improved knowledge of SAPR using the results of the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) 2012 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members (WGRA), 2012 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Reserve Component Members (WGRR), and the 2012 QuickCompass of Sexual Assault Response Coordinators (QSARC). Also enclosed are data and analysis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) technical report, Prevalence of Intimate Partner Violence, Stalking, and Sexual Violence Among Active Duty Women and Wives of Active Duty Men Comparisons with Women in U.S. General Population, 2010, and the Report on Department of Defense Policy Required by Section 578, FY2013 NDAA.
