This report, part of the Gun Policy in America initiative, describes the results of a survey in which gun policy experts estimated the likely effects of 15 gun-related policies on 12 societally important outcomes. Researchers use the results to identify where experts agree and disagree and where disagreements concern facts about the effects of gun policies that could possibly be resolved with better scientific information.

To assist the U.S. Marine Corps in evaluating its sexual assault prevention programs, the authors of this report identify and develop measures of performance and measures of effectiveness with which to assess the programs. The research team created a logic model framework to guide evaluations and mapped program goals to measures that assess the degree to which each outcome has been achieved.

This report reviews previous research on sexual assault against men and describes results from RAND researchers' interviews with military service providers and civilian experts. These interviews addressed victim needs, reporting, resources, public perceptions, outreach, and service provider training. The report concludes with recommendations for improving support to male sexual assault victims in the U.S. military.
