“…A recent systematic review on the global prevalence of sexual assault confirmed this reality: 27–44% of women, 11–25% of men, and 27–47% of transgender individuals experience sexual assault in their lifetime (Breiding et al, 2014 ; Dworkin, Krahé, & Zinzow, 2021 ; James et al, 2016 ; Langenderfer-Magruder, Eugene Walls, Kattari, Whitfield, & Ramos, 2016 Smith et al, 2018 ; Testa et al, 2012 ) with often significant mental health impact (e.g. Bach et al, 2021 ; Louison Vang, Ali, Christiansen, Dokkedahl, & Elklit, 2020 ; Villalta et al, 2020 ; Yeh et al, 2021 ). As the #MeToo movement clearly demonstrated, sexual assault is rarely perpetrated by strangers, by violent men pulling victims into the bushes, but instead most often by close friends, colleagues and family members.…”

A recent scandal in the Netherlands painfully underscored that sexual harassment and abuse are unfortunately still happening around the world, even after decades of advocacy on this issue and five years of #MeToo. To make progress in prevention and treatment we argue that we should address sexual violence from a public health perspective. Fruthermore, looking back on the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic was the dominant and potentially traumatic stressor affecting large populations around the world. Another big topic was that of the impact of climate change, we are only beginning to realize its impact on stress across the globe. The European Journal of Psychotraumatology (EJPT), with its increasing global readership and scientific and social impact, is focusing on the traumatic stress aspects of these and many other events. Relatedly, neurobiological aspects are an important and growing focus of the journal in that they help us better understand the mechanisms behind the development of trauma-related disorders and their treatment. In this editorial, we present recent trends, new Open Science developments, journal metrics, the plans and themes for next year and the ESTSS EJPT award winners for best paper of 2021. Highlights Next years’ research focus should be on sexual violence from a public health lens, climate change, and neurobiologal aspects of trauma-related disorders. The European Journal of Psychotraumatology (EJPT) calls or papers on these issues.

This study aims to identify the contribution of forensic psychology in the preparation of rape victims to testify in court and analyze the legal framework applicable to the protection of rape victims in the legal system in Indonesia. This research is normative juridical by using secondary data such as laws and regulations, literature studies, and expert interviews of Forensic Psychologists. The results of the first research analysis of forensic psychology contribute to the preparation and recovery of rape victims in the context of trials. By taking into account regulations such as Law Number 18 of 2014 concerning Mental Health and Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 45 of 2017, the practice of forensic psychology in Indonesia is directed to improve practice standards and protect the public from unethical practices. Second, legal protection for rape victims in Indonesia consists of two main aspects, namely preventive and curative protection. Preventive protection is established through regulations such as Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning rape in the Criminal Code and Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Sexual Violence (TPKS Law), which guarantees fair and comprehensive treatment and holistic recovery for victims. Curative legal protection is regulated by Law Number 36 of 2009 Article 144, which emphasizes treatment and rehabilitation approaches for victims after the commission of crimes.

Introduction. The relevance of the study is determined by the importance of methodological foundations and techniques for the assessment of the deferred efficiency of the psychological programs and formative impacts in the education system. By using the program for ensuring the elementary school students’ psychological safety the authors demonstrated the possibility of assessing the effectiveness of psychological influence three years after the program had been completed. The purpose of the article is to discuss the results and the algorithm for determining the deferred efficiency of the program of psychological influence in the educational environment. Materials and Methods. At the stage of primary diagnosis of effectiveness, the following methods and techniques were used: the questionnaire for children, parents and teachers (developed by the authors); questionnaire “Typical mental states students experience in educational activities”; explicit anxiety scale for children CMAS; technique “ladder”; drawing “Me in school”; color association technique; expert assessment of the educational environment in terms of risks and psychological safety resources. At the stage of deferred diagnosis (three years after the forming experiment) the same package of psychological diagnostics was used, as well as the standardized scale “Psychological safety of the educational environment” by I. A. Baeva. Methods of mathematical statistics of the stage of deferred diagnosis: two-stage cluster analysis; discriminant analysis with variable prediction; Pearson’s Chi Square; G-criterion of signs; ANOVA using software package SPSS Statistics 22.00. Results. An algorithm is proposed for the deferred assessment of the formative psychological impact in the educational environment. The applied diagnostic complex for assessing the psychological safety of primary schoolchildren, students of cadet classes has been proved to be valid. The efficiency of the program for ensuring the psychological safety of elementary schoolchildren and students of cadet classes has been confirmed, both in the immediate and in the long-term perspective. Discussion and Conclusion. The approach to deferred assessment of the effectiveness of psychological programs used in the research can serve as the basis for developing assessment methods and techniques for the quality of a formative experiment in psychology; for increasing the effectiveness and importance of psychological support for the participants of the educational environment. The article can be of interest to researchers of psychological problems in educational practice when determining the efficiency of support programs.
