Participants will gain perspective on the challenges and rewards of advocacy work\, including strategies for building trust and fostering collaboration with survivors. The speaker will discuss how this journey has shaped best practices for supporting victims and improving investigative outcomes. \nInvestigating Recantations:\nThis topic addresses the complexities of handling victim recantations during investigations\, emphasizing the importance of understanding underlying reasons such as fear\, trauma\, or coercion. Participants will learn techniques for assessing the credibility of recantations\, maintaining objectivity\, and gathering additional evidence to support the survivor’s account. The session also explores legal considerations and best practices for managing recantations to ensure thorough and fair investigations. \nVoluntary Intoxication – It’s Not Consent for Sex:\nThis segment clarifies the legal and ethical distinctions between voluntary intoxication and consent in sexual assault cases.
