The Neurobiology of Sexual Assault: Implications for First Responders

[@marianne573]

I'm so happy I found this after watching and reading about so many cases where victims weren't believed and even instead were arrested for making a "false" report. Hopefully that practice will become very rare soon. I just could not understand it at all from a police perspective, why often the actual suspects were not even investigated or not in the same thoroughness as the victims. It could not just be bias or rape myth right? And certainly not malice, to sent innocent people knowingly to prison. Now I get that they are just unaware about victim behaviour and victim questioning. I really hope that this will result in victims being believed and helped more and hope it will change those numbers of dismissals and retractions drastically.

Dr. Campbell, thankyou for sharing this. This is amazing! I think you should have this session for all law enforcement officers everywhere, not only the US. Everyone will benefit from this. Thank you and God bless you!

[@WhirledPeasFursure]

Hurray,,, you finally got this on youtube (and yes, I missed this for several months),, Dr Campbell gave this presentation a long time ago and the video disappeared for over a year,,, FINALLY, it's shareable again..... THANK YOU.. So many people get incredible insights when I shared it with them...

Stumbled upon this in 2022 - a 2012 presentation on sexual assault posted in 2020 - and literally there seems to have been zero advancement in over ten years. 😳 in reality, there has more likely been a regression. We are the USA - GOOD LORD CANT WE DO BETTER?????

I want to hear a detective’s explanation on why they find some accusations to be non-credible. The # of false accusations is/must be more than 0 if we’re being honest.

Why? What are you defending?

[@1776FREE2]

@@DarkerSideOfDawn What are you questioning? There's 1100 SA reports/day in the US. Are you suggesting out of 1100 reports a day, zero are false?

[@marianne573]

I hear it's estimated to be around 2-5% being false. So not zero, but not the 50-80% of cases that police officers are estimated to think the complainant is lying.

Great video, thank you for sharing this opportunity to hear and learn from Dr. Campbell.

Why don't the good patrolling policemen tell and teach the policemen on the station how to talk with /individuals/ women/ victims?

[@DarkerSideOfDawn]

Please take this to the schools to teach young ladies they are NOT safe .. they are NOT protected . They need to be educated !

For those who want a visual of 'tonic immobility', I would suggest watching Thirteen Reasons Why Season 1, episode 12, when Bryce and Hannah are in the hot tub. I think this scene actually did a really great job of portraying the internal chaos and powerlessness that some victims experience. Of course, please keep in mind that this is not every victim's experience, and others may feel this does not fully or accurately portray their experience. For those who have not experienced this trauma, it also may not have such a deep impact to witness this scene. For me, personally, I did feel it was quite accurate for what SOME survivors experience.

Where are the good psychologists in psychiatry? why don't the police still find out about victims behaviours afetr many years of available knowledge and newspaper reports? I have been mistreated, neglected, withheld proper healthcare for 42 years,the object of many offenses and hindered in filing police reports on them for about 20 years I believe. am só ill and stress-exhausted and re-traumatized over and over again, recently this summer in the local police station. The german word Kränkung tells us about bad treatment causing illness, making ill, (=Krankmachung), which is what I feel from the Police, Psychiatry, Healthcare and different Social Security places.Since "Rape" denotes sexually, it is wrong to call it a repeated such, but in the state of severe illness with shattered body-and soul functions, it feels like a psychical and energetic kind of violation, since I am so weakened with even thinner skin than I had from start, from childhood trauma.I want help now, heal and live.It's a little late, having had 42 years of my life wasted and opportunities passed.A neverending hell without reason and explanation, I being an active,educated, intelligent co-opaerating, helpful human.

I had a therapist tell me I should stay after revealing he raped me after our last session. Now i realize she was looking out for my kids But she should have insisted I report it. Now I have CPTSD that interferes with my functioning every day . I can no longer feel safe alone with any man It wasn’t a quickly It was a demonstration of power and control I was ending the relationship after uncovering multiple affairs . I lost . Abd I lost my mind as well. Now I’m A basket case .

The stuff they say makes no sense, this is because the police are unfamiliar with the speech patterns used to relay intimate conversations to strangers when the victim is under stress. There often is no context given by the victim. And if there were, that context is not even one the police are familiar with. Strange but true, some neighborhoods in America operate along the lines of the book "freakonomics" better said as freaky culture. An example (Not exactly on point) the local drug dealer gives discount rates for women with dependent kids. Just how it is.

and for me, at age 58, for the first time I was able to understand what the heck happened to me so many years ago.... Watch it with a female who went through a very confusing rape,, I bet you'll see her get emotional and make sense of it even if you didn't...
