The study evaluates the relationship between ACE scores and sexual assault. ACE surveys were passed out to incarnated sexual assault offenders to investigate a possible correlation between ACE scores and sexual assault. Based on previous research, a correlation can be found between Ace scores and a sexual assault conviction. Thus, the results of this proposed study would likely show a possible correlation between ACE scores and sexual assault. The ACE scores show some prevalence to someone to commit a sexual assault offense based on the adverse childhood experienced when they were young. Future research could focus an intervention for children and adults who have experienced adverse childhood experiences to help them not to commit crimes.
