Marvin Townsend, City Manager -5- Crisis Intervention Service ay, Un (Name) (Title) I' • SM -MARY OF PROJECT It is proposed that the City of- Corpus Christi apply for funds in the amount of $30,554 from the Texas Criminal Justice Division for the purpose of creating a Rape Crisis Center in Corpus Christi. While this amount of money is less than had been originally proposed, it is believed the amount will be sufficient to get the program underway during its first year of operation. It is also believed that since the City of Corpus Christi will have to pick up the bill for the program at some future date' and since it is unknown to what extent the program will be utilized, the initial amount of funding should be kept at a minimum. It.is proposed that Corpus Christi contract with the already estabPishe'd'and recognized Crisis Intervention Center to operate the program and that said contract be similar in nature to that the City now has with the Early Childhood Development Center. The Crisis Intervention Center Board of Trustees sitting as the Rape Crisis Center -_ Board of Trustees will, with the concurrence of the City, set all policies and procedures, hire all personnel. and be financially and otherwise responsible for carrying out the project. The Center will furnish the necessary information to the City of Corpus Christi in order that the City make the required Quarterly Progress Reports and Final Report to the Criminal Justice Division. At all times, all records, financial and otherwise will be available for review by authorized members of the City staff and for that. purpose it is recommended that one member of the Corpus Christi Police Department be designated to act as liaison between the City and the Rape Crisis Center.

Sununary In the space below, write a brief summary of total project. A. Coals - There is currently no real deterent for the crime of rape. Many rape victims are alone in the lengthy process of prosecution. This situation produces the under - reporting :of -the crime and makes punishment for the offense, which could function as'.-a- deterent, unlikely. This project would increase the reporting of the crime and provide emotional support for the victim, thereby creating a deterent. I3.1 ✓etlrods -The City of Corpus Christi will contract with the Crisis Intervention Center to provide a 24 -hour a day service for rape victims to call upon an outsider, not associated with the police directly, to'.report the crime, and through emotional support given her, increase the reporting of the crime while decreasing the'trauma suffered by her. Through Public education it is hoped that the social stigma of being raped will lessen and in time disappear. . C. Resources- By using volunteers, the public will become more involved in the problems .concerning rape, and more sensitive to the situation. Staff members, volunteers and the Crisis Center Board of Directors will work together with law enforcement agencies to bring about these objectives. D. Results- Increase the number of rape cases reported, inform the public to a greater extent about the crime of rape-and make women more aware of -the preventative- aspects of rape. E.

A. GOALS 1. Nature of the Problem Within our legal system,.procedures, have evolved to insure that the accused are properly treated. They are presumed innocent until-proven guilty; their rights must be made explicit upon arrest; they must be informed of the charges against -them; and they have'a right to a fair -and expedient trial. The-accused fit right into the jurisdiction of the systetp. But what of the victims of crime? .Where -do they fit in? - • No one seems to know just what to do with them. Our legal system deals with criminal acts in terms of the offender' -- either treat him or punish him. This emphasis. op the criminal rather than on the victim has left the* latter to deal with victimization with whatever resources. to which they may have access; however unlimited. The fact'remains that many of the victims of crime, especially violent crimes; are ill- equipped to deal with the traumatic effects of the physical. assault_ .Even if ,. they.know of available - medical services, they might not be able to get necessary ' emotional support. They might not be aware of their need for counseling or they•may feel. that they can deal with the trauma on their own. In some cases this may be true. However, a violent•crime can often disrupt a person's concept.of society in an orderly, liveable system, and he may be unwilling or unable °to cope with the act of violence. These hostile feelings may cause d3sfunetion among his relationships with others, *himself, or society at large. The traumatic effect of violence is increased when the violence is a sexual crime. The sexual attack of a female can leave her emotionally traumatized. She often will internalize tremendous guilt burdens, particularly if she was excited by the sexual act. Some psychiatrists suggest that many children and adults experience chronic personality disabilities as a result of sexual assaults. The depth and seriousness of psychological trauma is dependent upon such factors as previous personality problem and the presence of significant emotional stress at the time of the attack. For the most part, however, there has been limited research into the emotional effects of sexual crimes. All available literature confirms that the range of emotional response is wide: from feelings of rage, helplessness, doubts and problems with subsequent sex life to frigidity, aimless promiscuity, or- omos6ftiality SheY may be uncertain as to her role as a woman or doubtful.that her husband or lover will respond to her in the same way as before the rape. In a pioneer study by Sutherland & Schcrl, three basic emotional problems of rape victims can be anticipated. The first is the acute reaction described above. In addition, the victim is wondering if she should press charges, if she will become pregnant and /or if there will be.any unpleasant publicity. The second phase is termed that of outward adjustment: after the immediate anxiety, a pseudo - adjustment, involving a great measure of denial and repression occurs'_ The final phase is that of integration and resolution. This is the victim's acceptance of the event and a realistice appraisal of the whole incident in terms of herself, her ' family, and her assailant. All of these stages must be dealt with adequately in order for the victim to avoid the traumatic effects of raper Even assuming that the victim is able to emotionally work through the effects of the rape, the fact remains that a crime has been committed against a female. And, for whatever reason, victims of rape have, in the past, been reluctant to report incidences of this crime. According to FBI estimates for the year 1973, 75% of all sexual assaults on women go entirely unreported to police authorities. In 1973, 76 cases of rape were reported in Corpus Christi with 23 arrests, resulting.in 3 convictions. In 1974 there were 98 reported rapes, 42 arrests and 3 convictions. It is clear that reported rapes are increasing. However, there is no way of knowing if'this is an actual increase'in the number of rapes or an increase in the reporting of rapes. It is believed that if rape victims are provided with a sympathetic and supportive person with whom they can discuss their feelings about the rape and the reporting of the attack, the number of reported rapes will increase. For whatever reasons, and with or without justification, many females are I terrified at the prospect of.reporting a rape or attempted rape." This necessarily impedes the ability of the police to do their job — apprehension of an alledged criminal. Only when women are able to report the rape will an increase in rapists' arrests.and convictions become reality. If a women is able to speak to a sympathetic listener, gain emotional support, and obtain assistance, she will best be capable of making a realistic decision about reporting a rape. 2. Target Groups The Corpus Christi Rape Crisis Center will serve all women and giros who have been raped. In addition, women who have been sexually attacked, but not raped, may feel the need to discuss this incident if they have been traumatized by it. Women are 512 of the population, and every female is a potential rape victim_ It is universally acknowledged that the reporting of rapes is significantly lower than its actual occurence. As such, it is extremely difficult to estimate the number of citizens who will benefit from the service. Some attempt, hgwever, has been made to quantify this. There were 98 reported rapes in Corpus Christi last year. A conservative estimate is that. four times as many go unreported, equaling around 400. Therefore, it is estimated that, given adequate community support and publicity, around 200 females in Corpus Christi will receive the victim - oriented services of the Corpus Christi Rape Crisis Center project listed herein. Therefore, this project calls for the establishment of a service to all women. The CCGCC will provide 24 -hour hotline service for women and girls to discuss the rape or attempted rape which will encourage victims to seek the proper medical, legal and psychological help. The Center will encourage all victims of rape to obtain proper medical treatment. It will facilitate the reporting of rape and attempted rape to..law enforcement officials by providing a supportive helping person to the victim. Also, it will allow rape victims the opportunity to use volunteers specifically trained to relate to them to discuss their feelings about the.rape. Upon notification of a rape or attempted rape; a volunteer will, if requested to do so, meet the rape victim, accompany her to the hospital and police station. The Center will provide follow -up services and will be capable of making referrals to the appropriate medical, legal and psychological resources. Furthermore, the Center will allow a paid staff member (the administrator) to develop a program of education and publicity about rape and measures to prevent rape. In this way, the Center exists not only for the treatment to rape.victims but also for the development and implementation of programs to reduce incidents of rape in Corpus Christi. 3. .Goals and Objectives 1. To facilitate the reporting of rape and attempted.rape to law enforcement officials. 2. To encourage more females who refuse to report the crime to seek proper medical treatment for injury, pregnancy, and venereal disease as a result of a rape. 3. To inform and refer approximately 30 rape victims per year to professionals able to deal with the traumatic effects of rape on a long -term, on -going basis. The objectives of the Corpus Christi Rape Crisis Center will be the following: 1. To provide assistance in the filing of charges of the crime of rape to approximately 10 rape victims per month. 2. To provide information regarding medical complications, primarily venereal disease and unwanted pregnancy caused by rape to approximately 10 victims 1 • 1 i Page 4E per month who do not report the crime to the police. 3. To educate and inform all citizens of the facts about rape; what to do when raped, and how to avoid being raped, through approximately 4 speaking engagements per month. UNQUANTIFIABLE OBJECTIVES 4. The prevention of family and personal crisis due to a greater ability. of rape victims to cope with the event. S. A new field of research involving the treatment of the victims of violent crimes and, more specifically, victims of forcible rape, and 6. A more accurate statistical measure of incidents of rape for law enforcement officials. B. METHODS The City of Corpus Christi will contract with the Crisis Intervention Center, a. non- profit corporation, to provide the services outlined below. All of the frnc *_ions outlined will be on -going throughout the project's duration. The main activity of the Rape Crisis Center will be its 24 -hour. hotline.: This hotline, staffed by volunteers of both sexes, will provide necessary medidal and legal factual information to a rape victim. They will encourage her to report the rape or attempted rape to the police and offer to accompany her there. They will allow the victim to verbalize some of the emotional trauma that has resulted from the rape. Based on an assessment of her trauma, the volunteer can then refer the victim to the proper source for continued counseling. Other on -call volunteers will be expected to follow -up on each in- coming call. If the victim has given her name; the volunteer will contact her within a week to assess the victim's present state, to discover what other resources have been utilized, and to determine and, if necessary, express the need for continued counseling. For a victim calling the night or morning after rape, the Center will, upon c request, send a volunteer to a3company the victim to the hospital or police station. This will enable the victim to feel that she has a supportive, caring person with her at all times. This too, may help soften any emotional stress sbe may feel in the future. In addition to offering emotional support and information, financial aid will be available to a rape victim through the medical and drug find. This fund will be used . when a rape victim does not have the financial resources to pay for immediate necessary, medical procedures. One shot for venereal disease prevention may cost $30..00 and if additional medicine or X-rays are necessary, the cost could be beyond the financial ability of the victim. The Project Administrator will be involved in numerous other projects. She will coordinate the activities of the administrative assistants. She-;will be'.responsib7a - .for their continued education and staff development and will function as their.super- visor. In addition, she will be involved in the production and dissemination of literature dealing with rape, attempted rape, and the prevention of rape. She will cooperate with all agencies and institutions dealing with rape victims so that a mutually satisfying relationship among all agencies may be achieved. To educate the public on the facts of rape and the prevention of it, the Corpus Christi Rape Crisis Center will speak to civic, church, or any, other interested group. In this way, the Center not only involves itself with the reality of rape but works for the prevention of it. Operating under the assumption that some women are afraid to contact the proper authorities, unless the community is aware of the a dstence of the Center, they cannot utilize the. facilities. The Center will send news releases to all of the local media at least once a month. A log book will be kept from the date of opening which logs in every call to the Center. The date and time is recorded and the name of the caller unless the caller is a rape victim. g, Page 4G If the caller is a victim; she is assigned a number which consists of the year, month, day and the sequency of victims calling in that day (1, 2, 3, etc.)_ In addition, a data sheet is filled out on each victim and filed by the number. An events calendar is maintained containing all public speaking engagements,-dates, locations, organizations, etc. The Crisis Intervention Center Board of Directors will require that volunteers and staff complete an extensive training session aimed at familiarizing the prospective volunteer with the crime of rape.in our city. Initial classes will be held at least once a week and last a minimum of 3 hours. Each session will have a speaker from the - existing agencies that a rape victim would encounter in the prosecution prodecure. Not only do 'these speakers explain their agencies' "policies "in detail but "ere able` to give the trainees some insight into the rape victim; how they view her; what her needs are; and how the Center can assist both the victim and the agency more efficiently. Once the volunteer has completed the classwork,•she or he will have a final interview with the Project Administrator before being accepted as a volunteer. The volunteer will then work with an experienced volunteer for a period of time before being on their own. C. RESOURCES 1. The City of Corpus Christi will contract with the Crisis Intervention Center, which has the resources outlined below: The Board of Directors of the Crisis Intervention Center has been in existence for about eight years. Members of the Board of Directors have previous contact, both ptofessional and personal, with various members of law enforcement agencies and can facilitate cooperation between the Center and these organizations. Approximately 100 volunteers now staff the Crisis telephones. - A separate line with a separate number will be placed in the Crisis Center Hotline office located in one of the Corpus Christi hospitals. This line will be answered by the present Intervention Center volunteers (after they have received additional training). A cadre of approximately fifty (50) other volunteers will receive special training and will be used exclusively to go out on rape calls when the situation warrants. 2. The Crisis Intervention Center Board of Trustees, sitting as the "Rape Crisis Center Board of Trustees" will interview persons for the job of Project Administrator of the Rape Crisis'Center. A person will be sought who has a background in working with volunteer organizations and who has at least a BA in psychology, sociology or a related field. '.Preference will be given to persons with a masters or similar backgroundleve After conducting a numbei of interviews for the position, the Board will present one individual to the sponsoring agency (City of Corpus Christi) for final confirmation. i 3.. The Project Administrator, will hire and be responsible for two part- time people,'. - to work as :.Assistant /Secretaries who will perform the usual office functions of such an agency and maintain an accurate record of all the agencies' activities. 4. it is anticipated that the Rape Crisis Center Board will (with the ebneurrence� of the sponsoring agency) make all policy decisions and follow the same by -laws it now operates under as the Crisis Intervention Center (Suicide Prevention - Crisis Service). A copy of these by -laws are attached. 5. There are three principal existing agencies whose cooperation and - support is needed for the success of the project: The Corpus Christi Police Department, Memorial- Medical Center, and the District Attorney's Office. The Police Department has expressed an unqualified willingness, need and desire for the service. They have agreed, if the project becomes a reality, to inform rape victims of our existence, and with the consent of the victim, telephone our agency. Volunteers of the Center will aid in filling out offense reports, taking statements and in the filing of offense reports, taking statements and in the filing of formal complaints against offenders. A representative of Memorial Medical Center has attended meetings concerning -the Rape Crisis Center and their cooperation is assured. The District Attorney's Office has been extremely supportive of the idea and has assured their office's cooperation in our efforts. D. RESULTS 1. Anticipated results: Increase the number of rape cases reported in the first year by 15 to 20% over 1974. Inform the public about rape to a greater extent than in the past with at least 4 public speaking engagements per month. Make woyien more aware of the preventative aspects of rape through the self" defense courses to be conducted. Hopefully, these results will produce a decrease in the incidence of rape in Corpus Christi. 2. Dissemination Under the category in the budget narrative of "Travel ", we have outlined the - ._;workshops.. and conferences to be attended. In the past, various women's organizations!-. m such as the National Organization of Women (NOW), the Texas and National Women's Political Caucus, and individual rape task forces have held workshops to discuss the operation of rape crisis centers. It is our intent to attend as many of these as financially possible in order to learn from other rape crisis centers now in existence. In addition, on a community level, we plan extensive educational campaigns, both to private organizations through speaking engagements and to the public high schools. Specifically, at the high school level, we intend to warn adolescents of the dangers of . hitchhiking as a mode of transportation. E. EVALUATION The Corpus Christi Rape Crisis Center will measure the effectiveness of its program through internal evaluation (staff) by comparing ehd following terms of change over a period of time -- probably every 3 months (although daily records are kept): 1. Number of rape victims calling the center (+ or — change) from November 1, 1975 through October 30, 1976. 2. Number of rape victims referred to the Center by other sources (+ or — change). 3. Number of rape victims counseled (listed by counseling service performed). 4. Number of rape victims who call the Center and this results in a report of the crime to the appropriate law enforcement agency. 5. Number of reported cases where charges were actually filed. I •`. Page 4J 6. Number of such reported cases cleared by arrest. 7. Number of such reported and filed cases prosecuted. B. Number of convictions resulting from such prosecution. 9. Number of speaking engagements. 10. Actual (numerical) distribution of other educational material. 11. Number of general information inquiries. 12. Number of educational situations solicited by the Center compared to the number of educational situations of the Center from outside resources. In addition, the Rape Crisis Center will be evaluated in the 'following ways: 1. The filing of Quarterly Progress Reports to the Criminal Justice Division. 2 The City of Corpus Christi monitors all contracts.focusing on every aspect- - -9E__ the contract between the City of Corpus Christi and the Pape Crisis Center, and the grant proposal is incorporated as a part of that contract.
