As the nature of sexual assault in Anchorage changes, so must our responses to sexual assaults. Good prevention and intervention programs cannot be static, but must change as the nature of sexual assaults change. In this brief report, we update our previous report titled Descriptive Analysis of Sexual Assaults in Anchorage to document some of the changed in the nature of sexual assault from 2000 to 2003. In the ideal situation, a monitoring program would be developed in Anchorage so that prevention and intervention programs would receive real-time empirical information about the changing nature of sexual assault. Only when armed with up-to-date factual information will we be able to successfully fight against sexual assaults.
