The relationship between law enforcement and the advocates is critical within the investigative setting. Rape reporters receive better treatment by police officers when advocates are involved, and best practice police work includes such collaboration (Rich & Seffrin, 2013). The association of the two shapes the overall communication perspective between victims and the public. This week’s article revealed that professional variables are more present within officers than personal variables. Professional variables are reflected in the officer’s experience in education learned over time in the work setting. Personal variables disregard all professional factors and can sometimes be biased. The professional relationships established in law enforcement are very sensitive, as you do not want to demonstrate unprofessional variables by re-victimizing a victim.

Interactions with authorities are usually incorporated with a high degree of stress due to the many variables that permit surrounding a crime. Sexual assault cases are closely monitored to ensure the proper assistance and investigative methods. Appropriate service entails average training by officers that assists professional variables.

: Using the following scenario, complete the case study.

During Spring Break, Angela, Bridgette, and Laura went to a small Mexican town near the Gulf of Mexico. On Friday night, the girls went to a restaurant. Angela and Bridgette shared a pizza with ground beef, refried beans, cheese, and some vegetable toppings. Laura ate a large portion of chicken fajitas. After dinner, Laura brought her leftover chicken fajitas back to the hotel and stored them in the room’s refrigerator. Saturday morning, the girls ate bagels and fresh fruit. For lunch, the girls stopped at a deli. Angela had a spinach salad with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and poppy seed dressing. Bridgette had a shrimp salad sandwich on a toasted multigrain roll. Laura had a bowl of seafood gumbo soup. The young women were having so much fun that evening, they didn’t have time for a sit-down dinner, so they each ate a hot dog from a street vendor. When they returned to the hotel later that evening, they were a little bit hungry, so they shared Laura’s chicken fajita leftovers after reheating them in a microwave. Between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, Angela and Bridgette each woke up feeling nauseous and bloated. They spent most of Sunday sick with vomiting and diarrhea. Angela also had a very bad headache and chills. Laura felt fine, but she was stuck in the hotel room taking care of her sick friends all day.
