Brief Description

In order to train a number of investigators who will provide an appropriate response to sex offences in all police units, special seminars for sex offences investigators have taken place every year since 2004 in all police districts. These seminars are guided by the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel with the participation of professional lecturers from different areas of specialties - legislation, post-trauma, incest, re-victimization, male victims of sexual assault, vulnerable sectors, etc. These seminars are designed to train investigators specializing in treatment of sex offences, and also to provide them with emotional support, and different ways of coping with this sensitive issue.
