State Legislators’ Handbook for Statutory Rape Issues
This handbook seeks to improve the criminal justice response to statutory rape victims and to hold offenders accountable. It provides a framework for developing and analyzing legislation that would make sexual intercourse with a minor a crime based on the age of the minor. It assists legislators and policymakers who are amending their statutory rape laws. Although each state must determine what kind of laws to pass, this handbook provides a framework for discussing and considering the issues as well as examples of how states have dealt with the complex issues involved in statutory rape cases. February 2000; Free, limited copies available (NCJ 178238); OVC. www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ovc/publications/infores/statutoryrape/handbook/statrape.pdf
