My research project will examine if DNA should be tested in earlier rape cases. Before the mid 1990s DNA was not tested a much as it is today in rape cases.

No innocent person should have to serve a sentence for a crime. Literature Review […]

Society can do this by teaching young women their values, and make it clear to them that harassment cannot be tolerated. Sexual violence […]
