Criminal Justice Collaboration CommitteeAdvances in the collection of forensic evidence and the existence of DNA databases have made the hospital the locus of medical and criminal justice collaboration. As a result of these technological advances, the need to work in coordination with the criminal justice system has become paramount. Recognizing this need for collaborative partnership, The New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault has developed, under the auspices of its Forensic Healthcare Program, the Criminal Justice Collaboration Project (CJCP).Supporting the belief that Sexual Assault Treatment Programs must collaborate with other systems interacting with victims of sexual assault to provide the highest level of care, the goal of the CJCP is to create and support forums on both a borough wide and citywide level where partners from sexual assault treatment programs can meet regularly with representatives from the criminal justice system to discuss common issues and concerns, identify areas of existing need, and problem solve. This information will then be collected and disseminated to appropriate agencies and individuals for use in developing new strategies for prevention and responding to sexual violence in New York City. We strongly encourage all agencies treating and responding to victims of sexual assault to participate in their local task forces and work together to create change across New York City. To get involved in your local borough task force please contact one of the following representatives: Bronx Sexual Assault Task ForceElaine Garbaty, Co-Chair Joe Muroff, Co-Chair Brooklyn Sexual Assault Task ForceRhonnie Jaus, Co-Chair Newton Tyson Manhattan Sexual Assault Task ForceSusan Xenarios, Co-Chair Queens Task Force on Domestic Violence, Sexual Abuse and Child MaltreatmentOffice of the President of the Borough of Queens Staten Island Sexual Assault Task ForceAmy Edelstein, Chair |
