Juvenile homicide and fatal maltreatment remain serious and
pervasive problems in the developed world and especially in the
United States, where in 2005 some 1,500 children died from neglect
and physical abuse. Alarming statistics such as this, as well as an
upsurge in the media attention paid to all things forensic,
underscore the pressing need for the utmost rigor in the scientific
investigation of child abuse cases. This well timed volume is a
response to the climate of public and press interest in such
inquiries, where the forensic aspects of the casework generate an
enormous amount of attention. The contributions cover a wide range
of topics and explore many of the finer details of investigations
into juvenile fatalities suspected of being abuse-related. The
chapters reflect both the multi-disciplinary nature of such
investigations, and also the need for law enforcement professionals
to take a rounded, holistic approach to the casework involved. The
motivational factors that lead many professionals enter this arena
of investigation are, of course, personal and individual. However,
at the core of their commitment and their work is a shared need for
justice, plain and simple. Victim advocacy and protecting the
rights of children, both living and deceased, remains a key impetus
for those professionals who specialize in child abuse research. At
the heart of this book is the aim of providing both a vital
resource for investigators, and a purposeful voice for the young
victims of abuse, unable as they are to stand up and speak for
themselves.
