Summary:

"The Air Force is committed to eliminating sexual assault in the service. It is therefore considering how it may adjust its policies and procedures for screening at enlistment to better address an applicant's potential for sexual assault perpetration. This report reviews the current recruitment and enlistment policies and procedures of the Air Force and assesses how these may address sexual assault perpetration, both a history of it and the propensity to commit it in the future. The report also reviews the strengths and limitations of self-report tests that may be used to predict counterproductive workplace behaviors and considers the applicability of these and other assessments, including background checks and personality-based assessments, to sexual assault prevention. The report concludes with recommendations for the Air Force to consider as part of its efforts to prevent sexual assault in the service."--Publisher's description.
