  Rachel Lovell and Misty Luminais, senior research associates at the Begun Center for Violence Prevention, Education and Research, have collected data from more than 500 backlogged sexual assault kits from Cuyahoga County dating from 1993 to 2009. Using The Freedman Center’s ArcGIS visual mapping software, Lovell and Luminais explored the spatial relationships between attackers, victims and the surrounding environment. By exploring the geographical data and making it available to the public, they aim to be a resource to criminology circles where data at this level of detail has not been seen before.
