2000: The Santa Fe Rape Crisis Center used a planning grant to establish a collaborative, multidisciplinary team to examine northern New Mexico's practices related to juvenile sex offender management. Northern New Mexico encompasses Santa Fe County and the cities of Los Alamos, Espanola, and Taos, and had a population of approximately 158,000 in 2000. At the time of this grant New Mexico had the second highest rate of reported rapes in the nation and the fewest number of treatment programs for juvenile sex offenders. Through the grant, the center formalized a working relationship among criminal justice professionals, treatment providers, and victim advocates. The goal was to gain a better understanding of current sex offender management practices in the region and develop a plan to enhance these practices.
