title: An evaluation of the Israeli Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kit and additional exhibits in casework.
abstract: A Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kit is a well known device used by several countries, including Israel. Sexual offence cases containing kits and additional exhibits are brought to the Forensic Biology Laboratory of the Israeli Police. For the purpose of this work, the kits and the exhibits were evaluated for their value as evidence. It was found that the additional exhibits had some advantage over the kit. On the other hand, the kit had its own advantage and therefore a proper forensic case should include the kit and the additional exhibits.
