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 treatments administered by these dedicated professionals protect 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 on the physical and forensic evaluation of patients across the life span, identifying and treating STIs (based on the CDC's 2015 Treatment Guidelines), mental health care for survivors and vicariously traumatized practitioners, and the investigation and prosecution of sexual violence.
