Treatment Benefits
BENEFITS OF TREATMENT TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNITY
86% of all REPORTED sexual assault cases were committed by someone known to the victim – a family member or acquaintance (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2000)
The U.S. Department of Justice reports that 93% of victims under the age of 17, were assaulted by someone they knew.
96% of those arrested for sex crimes in New York State have no prior convictions for sex crimes and thus are not listed on any registry. Standing Committee on Crime Victims, Crime and Correction | 2009-2010 Report
Numerous studies have indicated that treatment provided by trained professionals using evidence based approaches and materials lowers recidivism.
Victims of sexual assault are:
- 3 times more likely to suffer from depression.
- 6 times more likely to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.
- 13 times more likely to abuse alcohol.
- 26 times more likely to abuse drugs.
- 4 times more likely to contemplate suicide.
