Few studies have explored aggregated DNA analysis findings from sexual assault kits (SAKs) and predictive features of developing useful DNA information related to the foreign contributor(s). Information gleaned from evaluating DNA analysis findings have significant practice and policy implications for both forensic medical examiners/sexual assault nurse examiners and forensic scientists. Results from this innovative study were obtained by tracking SAKs from evidence collection, data from sexual assault medical forensic examinations, through DNA analysis results, and data from publicly funded laboratories.
This study does not include data files. It includes 13 Python files used for statistical analysis.
