In the investigation of child abuse, consistent investigative protocol and clear, thorough documentation of facts and findings are essential to ensuring justice for victims, both for those who survive and for those who do not. In order to achieve the best possible results in such cases, multidisciplinary investigative teams of first responders, law enforcement, and medical practitioners should be well prepared for the process of investigation and documentation as they work in tandem toward a just end for every case of abuse.
Readers in medicine, law enforcement, and any other readers involved with child abuse and death investigations will enjoy the benefit of Child Abuse Pocket Atlas Series, Volume 4: Investigation, Documentation, and Radiology, a compact and accessible guide to investigation and documentation.
