potentially lethal. First responders and medical practitioners
encountering children with head injuries may need to take quick and
decisive measures to ensure a child's safety and, in the case of
child death investigation, will need to recognize a variety of head
injuries in order to identify or to rule out abusive trauma. This
third volume of a new and ongoing series on child abuse provides
professionals in medicine and law enforcement with more than 600
full-color photos and accompanying case studies representing a
variety of both abusive and unintentional head injuries in
children, as well as photographic studies of conditions mimicking
abusive head trauma. Compact and comprehensive, this new title is
certain to be an invaluable resource for any professionals
investigating head injuries in children.
This new pocket atlas, part 5 of an ongoing series on child abuse,
is designed specifically for professionals involved in the
investigation of child death, both intentional and unintentional.
Readers in law enforcement, medicine, and other readers
professionally involved in child death investigation will find this
convenient resource essential to their work in the field. Over 600
full-color crime scene photos, reenactments, and photos taken in
postmortem examinations and corresponding case studies written by
expert investigators illustrate a variety of abusive and accidental
causes of death, including neglect, burning, drowning, natural
causes, and shaken baby syndrome. This text is a vital tool for any
