Other issues present in cases that reached disposition (If possible, use the space below to discuss the extent to which cases that were characterized as domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking also included additional charges or elements of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and/or stalking. For example, cases reported above as domestic violence felony cases may also have included counts of misdemeanor sexual assault, and cases reported as felony sexual assault may also have included stalking charges. The purpose of this question is to gather information on how often multiple crimes were present in the cases reported. If detailed information is not available, feel free to provide estimates based on your experience.Of those cases for which dispositions were reported in Question X above, indicate whether there were elements of domestic violence, sexual assault, and/or stalking also present in the case. Report on each additional issue only once for each case disposed of. For example, a domestic violence felony case also involved three counts of misdemeanor sexual assault; you would report that particular case below in the domestic violence row under the sexual assault column only once. Cases involving other issues, even if those issues do not result in charges, should also be reported here. For example, a felony sexual assault case involves a defendant who is the former spouse of the victim; you would report that case below in the sexual assault row under the domestic violence column. It is strongly suggested that you refer to the separate instructions for examples of how to report in response to this question.)
