In this book, professionals faced with a case of possible child torture will find guidelines for the recognition, investigation, treatment and prosecution of child torture. The text covers the three major settings for child torture: intra-familial, sexual, and political. The main goal is to increase the awareness of the broad spectrum of child torture presentation, and its treatment and prevention. With over 300 color photographs, figures, tables and charts, The Investigation and Prosecution of Child Torture is the first published book on this subject for medical, law enforcement, and legal communities.
