It covers eight specific issues: gender, human rights and the law; police attitudes and sensitisation; crime prevention approaches to repeat victimisation; perspectives on offender profiling; evidence and investigation techniques; medical and forensic evidence and investigation procedures; liaison with non-police organisations; and statistics, data collection and case management."
