Health Analysis of Rape

This may be a bit repetitive because it deals with a lot of what happened in the last several posts. The health people work with the authorities using the samples given by the victim and the police investigators. The rape kit( see two blogs ago) is probably their biggest tool in investigating instances of rape and sexual violence. For them, it is all about maintaining and preserving material evidence from the scene of the crime as well as the victim so that the evidence can be passed along to the detectives on the case. Medical personnel are only there to collect evidence and analyze it, and then the police work with them to identify the rapist through DNA analysis and continue the investigation through prosecution and trials. Records of DNA are kept and are available both to police and medical workers.
