In cases of sexual assault, it is important that investigators and
care providers be able to respond quickly and appropriately in
examining survivors, not only to ensure their health and safety but
also to preserve any physical evidence left by the perpetrator. In
such cases, a convenient visual reference can provide valuable
support to investigators in making a timely and accurate
assessment. Physical Examinations in Sexual Assault Pocket Atlas,
Vol. 1: Assault Histories includes over 500 full-color examination
photos demonstrating both common and unusual findings in cases of
sexual assault across the life span. These photos include case
studies written by attending medical practitioners, providing
valuable insight into findings in each particular case. With a
convenient visual reference at the ready, sexual assault response
team members in medicine, law enforcement, and in any other field
involved with the investigation of sexual assault will be well
prepared to make fast and effective assessments in the field.
While examining suspected sexual assault survivors, it is important
that investigators be able to accurately assess not only for those
findings indicative of assault but also for normal or otherwise
nonassaultive findings. The difference between normal and
assaultive findings may be subtle, and assessing for normal
findings in cases of suspected sexual violence may be challenging.
That being the case, sexual assault investigators of every variety
can benefit from a fast and accessible reference to support their
evaluations. Physical Examinations in Sexual Assault Pocket Atlas,
Volume 2: Nonassault Variants and Normal Findings provides a quick
and convenient visual reference for normal and nonassault findings
in suspected survivors. This light-weight and pocket-sized
photographic atlas includes more than 500 full-color exam
photographs and corresponding case studies written by expert
investigators. Readers in medicine, law enforcement, and any
organizations affiliated with sexual assault investigations will
benefit from an extensive and accessible visual catalog of normal
physical findings.
The Sexual Assault Supplementary CD-ROM contains 130 full-color
images with detailed case studies, all cultivated from the Sexual
Assault Color Atlas, reflecting the findings that are most
characteristic of the various age groups. The CD is a perfect
complement to the two-volume set, whether for training
presentations or self-study.
Sexual Assault: Victimization Across the Life Span is the essential
desk reference for anyone treating or investigating sexual assault.
Emergency room personnel, physicians, EMTs, social service
agencies, judges, and law enforcement personnel will find critical
information on physical examinations, proper documentation,
forensic evidence (including DNA analysis), and legal issues. The
special sections devoted to the unique problems of sexual
victimization of each age group are also invaluable. Edited by a
pediatrician, an emergency room physician, a sexual assault nurse
examiner, and a gynecologist, this hard-bound guide offers the most
comprehensive and up-to-date information available. It includes a
supplementary CD-ROM.
People of every age, ethnicity, and gender survive sexual assault,
and their continued well-being depends upon an informed and
responsive network of medical, legal, and social service
practitioners. Best practices, accurate diagnoses, and up-to-date

sexual assault patients and hold perpetrators accountable for their
crimes. For the safety of survivors and in support of their
professional caretakers, Sexual Assault Quick Reference offers
comprehensive, accessible guidelines for responding to sexual
assault, wherever it occurs. The revised second edition of Sexual
Assault Quick Reference provides updated information on a variety
of subjects, all in the same convenient format, including chapters

rapidly evolving field of practice, the second edition also offers
4 all-new chapters covering: Disclosure processes, medical and
mental health care, and legal proceedings for sexual assault in the
military The nature of human trafficking, common characteristics
and identification of trafficked persons, and physical and mental
