Assault Assessment
Psychological assessment, evaluation, and profiling in assault cases — for victims, the accused, and the courts.
What this assessment is
Assault cases often need psychological work in more than one way: assessing the emotional impact on a victim, evaluating the mental state or fitness of an accused person, or building a psychological profile to assist an investigation. GWI provides objective, court-ready evaluations for these needs.
The law behind it
Assault is covered by more than one law, depending on what happened.
Physical assault. The Revised Penal Code punishes physical injuries — from slight to serious — and related crimes against a person’s body and safety.
Sexual assault. RA 8353, the Anti-Rape Law of 1997, made rape a crime against persons and widened its meaning to include “sexual assault,” not only the older, narrower definition. This gave stronger protection to victims of sexual violence.
