What is NOT a common characteristic of a sexual assault kit?

Interview protocols are not a common characteristic of a sexual assault kit. A sexual assault kit primarily focuses on the physical evidence collection process, which involves medical examination tools to assess and treat injuries, forensic evidence collection to gather items like clothing or other materials containing potential evidence, and biological samples collection, which refers to obtaining fluids or tissue that may contain DNA or other vital information related to the assault.

While interviewing the victim or involved parties is crucial in the overall investigation of a sexual assault, this process does not take place within the confines of the kit itself. The kit is designed specifically for gathering physical evidence rather than facilitating interviews. Thus, identifying interview protocols as not part of a sexual assault kit aligns with its primary purpose of evidence collection and medical assessment.
