SCAS maintains one of the largest databases of its kind in the UK,
collecting data on over 120 variables on all stranger rapes and serious
sexual assaults in the UK. Owing to the highly sensitive and
confidential nature of the data we hold, we have had to set out strict
research protocols (available from our website at
www.npia.police.uk/en/6683.htm ) in order to allow researchers access
to our data.

We are currently inviting research proposals, with a deadline of 4th
February 2008.

For more information or to submit a detailed proposal (written
according to the research protocols), please email Jane Baker at
research@....
