Sara.TillThe article's primary focus is the failure of a government agency in the wake of the 9/11. The EPA's inadequate response to air pollution and subsequent public misguidance led to a multitude of public health issues. While the article does not explicitly detail the issues stated in this lawsuit, it does mention the EPA's failure to properly formulate and enact a plan to clean up materials released into the air.

Sara.TillThe program does not appear to have any length or requirements for members of its faculty. As a medical center, obviously those providing patient care need to be licensed medical professionals; however, there does not seem to be a written time commitment or contract for these individuals. Much of the Center's work revolves around on-going studies focusing on providing basic health care and interventions to incarcerated populations. This research is then presented by the Center in several ways: panel discussions, peer-reviewed articles, lobbying of policy makers, documentary films, interviews, ect.

Sara.TillThe study does utilize a fairly new perspective to gather information. This study as a whole appears to work both as a review article and present information gathered through the subjects interviewed. The first portion of the article presents the various factors being considered in the provided services (for example, why some rape cases are thrown out at a community level, and what characteristics of sexual assault influence social system response). The second portion utilizes interviews with a national, random sample of victim advocates. The selection process ended with 177 eligible agencies for questioning, and 168 participated in the interview process. As mentioned in the introduction of the report and in a previous answer, this large scale study is contrary to usual methodologies. Victim services are typically examined within a small context (i.e. how many alleged rape cases brought to a detective are pursued or how many alleged rape victims who present for counseling receive this help and what is their progress). This study took all of the levels of service (legal, medical, and mental health) and viewed their effectiveness as a network.
