Book Description
The Justice Dept. has reported that Indians are at least twice as likely to be raped or sexually assaulted as all other races in the U.S. Indians living in remote areas may be days away from health care facilities providing medical forensic exams, which collect evidence related to an assault for use in criminal prosecution. The principal health care provider for Indians, which operates or funds tribes to operate 45 hospitals, is the Dept. of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Indian Health Service (IHS). This report examined (1) the ability of IHS and tribally operated hospitals to collect and preserve medical forensic evidence involving cases of sexual assault and domestic violence, as needed for criminal prosecution; (2) what challenges, if any, these hospitals face in collecting and preserving such evidence; and (3) what factors besides medical forensic evidence contribute to a decision to prosecute such cases. Includes recommendations. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
