“…Data from the department of Madrid of the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences evidenced that only 25.2% of the CS victims lived in the Autonomous Region of Madrid (whose population is 6.5M inhabitants), while the Basque Country and Galicia (with a population of 2.2M and 2.7M citizens), registered DFAS percentages of 20.6% and 15.0% respectively (García-Caballero, 2014). In the same way, it is important to note the nonexclusivity of women as the only sex victimised by chemical submission.…”

The practice of sexual crimes associated with drug use is called Drug-Facilitated Sexual Assault (DFSA), while 'Chemical Submission' (CS) is used to include all type of crimes related to this activity. This paper reviews the epidemiology of this type of offenses, the main characteristics of the chemical substances consumed and the profiles of victims and aggressors. There have been also addressed principal signs of clinical suspicion to detect possible victims and the keys to the toxicology screening in case the victim presents evidences of being subject to chemical submission. Key Words: Alcohol, drugs and sexuality, Chemical Submission, Drug-facilitated sexual assault, sexual offenses.

“…In the past decade, there has been an international increase in the number of these cases, which has led to a greater interest in this type of crime that generates great social alarm due to the helplessness it causes in the victim (Becerra-García, 2015;McBrierty, Wilkinson, & Tormey, 2013;Navarro & Vega, 2013;Villa, Fazio, & Esposito, 2016;Xifró-Collsamata et al, 2015). Most authors define chemical submission as the use or administration of one or several psychoactive substances to a person for illicit or criminal purposes, so as to manipulate or modify the victim's will or behaviour, altering their degree of vigilance, their judgement or their state of consciousness (García-Caballero, Cruz-Landeira, & Quintela-Jorge, 2014;García-Repetto & Soria, 2013). In this situation, the effects of said substance or substances, administered in order to cause the victim (the person to whom the drug or drugs are administered) secondary damage, prevent the victim from being able to give legal consent, or to resist a possible aggressor.…”

“…To our knowledge, no studies have been carried out in Spain regarding chemical submission from a police investigation perspective, and those that have been carried out, are mostly oriented towards toxicological aspects (e.g., Cruz-Landeira et al, 2008;García-Caballero et al, 2014;García-Repetto & Soria, 2013). On the other hand, and in view of the media impact of some cases and the social alarm and outrage they have caused, it is expected that articles of legal guidance will soon be plentiful.…”

The aim of this study consisted in analysing the cases of drug-facilitated sexual assault-chemical submission-from 2008 to 2017. A total of 240 cases registered during this period within the territorial area of the Spanish Civil Guard were analysed. Results show an increasing incidence of sexual assault cases that are drug-facilitated in order to annul the will of the victim, or at least that there is a greater awareness to report these cases. From the analyses carried

“…We understand DFSA as the temporary disability of a person caused by a decrease in her/his volitional and cognitive abilities due to the voluntary or involuntary consumption of psychoactive substance (alcohol and/or illegal or prescription drugs). Since 2010, the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences has detected alleged crimes committed through DFSA and concerned psychoactive substances used to nullify the will of the victim (García-Caballero, Cruz-Landeira, & Quintela-Jorge, 2014).…”

“…It is in these care places where early and adequate samplings are key factors in confirming a diagnosis (García-Repetto & Soria, 2011). This problem also affects the clinical-forensic laboratories (Marc, 2008), which need better detection methods for those involved legal or illegal aubstances, which now belong to a frequent consumption pattern in our society (García-Caballero et al, 2014). The problem also concerns the psychological support of those affected by the posttraumatic effect, or to therapists who facilitate the recovery of the balance and self-esteem of the victims.…”

The service-learning methodology combines active learning processes and community service. This service-learning experience was performed using an interdisciplinary and cross plan. The teachers made a horizontal coordination in the courses, and a vertical coordination in subjects of the Degrees involved. This allowed working together in the students’ curricular training process. It also permitted covering various specific skills, as corresponds to the different subjects, whilst optimizing the students’ workload. The service addressed the problem of drug-facilitated sexual assaults (DFSA) in the youth leisure nightlife. DFSA is the temporary disability of a person caused by a decrease in her/his volitional and cognitive abilities due to the voluntary or involuntary consumption of a psychoactive substance. An active learning about the problem was encouraged in the classroom, focused on recognizing myths, attitudes, and risk situations. The service-learning actions to the community was based on an anonymous survey conducted among the students, which dealt with the problem. The Service Learning was stimulated through the design, planning and development of activities aimed at gaining social awareness of the existing problem while favouring peer learning processes. The students undertook awareness actions at different levels, spreading their message by means of social networks, high school workshops, and information stands on the street.
