dr. vera says . . . so sarah, i'm going to go to you with that.us understand the miskop - misconception about these victims dealing with trauma. >> it goes back to what liz and john have already said about how people have certain expectations for how victims behave, and then they immediately shut down and decide they don't believe the case, and then it doesn't go forward. so it -- it really goes back to the training and the understanding of the biology that has been described. >> john, it seems like there is such a cascading effect here too, because when the officer doesn't handle it properly on the street, the correct information isn't gathered, and then you aren't getting the evidence to prosecute, and it just snowballs. >> right. and it can happen at any juncture in the case. if nurses don't know how to respond, that may shut a victim down. it may be the initial patrol officer or me as the prosecutor who is interviewing the victim for the first time, and doesn't know how to talk to the victim and let them tell their story and not interrupt them
