Orleans Parish (La.) District Attorney's Office
Records of the Sex Crimes and Child Abuse
Investigative Unit, 1974-1976
4 cu. ft.
This unit was established in 1974 through a grant from the
Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of
Criminal Justice. The unit was designed to work closely with
victims and witnesses to sex and child abuse crimes accepted for
prosecution by the District Attorney's Office. Two female
investigators were hired to staff the unit.
The records deal with the establishment and functioning of the
unit. Included are reports required by the grant process along
with information on subjects bearing on the unit's
responsibilities. The latter group includes material on the
functioning of other such units, such as the one in New York City,
along with data on other rape programs in New Orleans and
Louisiana. There is also some material on the operations of the
District Attorney's Office in general.
