What are the two reporting options in the SAPR program?

The correct response highlights the two distinct pathways available to individuals who wish to report a sexual assault under the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) program, which are restricted and unrestricted reporting.

Restricted reporting allows a survivor to confidentially disclose an incident of sexual assault without triggering an official investigation. This pathway is beneficial for survivors who may want time to consider their options without the pressure of an investigation and provides access to necessary medical care and support services while maintaining their privacy.

Unrestricted reporting, on the other hand, initiates an official investigation into the incident. It allows the survivor to report the assault to law enforcement and command authorities, which can lead to accountability for the offender while providing the survivor with access to supportive services.

The other options, while they might suggest different forms of reporting, do not accurately reflect the specific frameworks established within the SAPR program. For instance, the terms public-private and formal-informal reporting may not capture the legal and procedural implications of the appropriate reporting pathways outlined by the military's response to sexual assault.
