Child Fatality Review: Evaluation of Accidental and Inflicted Child Death is the first text
of its kind on the world market. This book contains the complete information on child
fatality review teams and is designed to serve team members, potential team members,
and interested nonmembers as the only text they will need on death review. The volumes
detail common types of child fatalities for professionals to use as a reference, including
fully captioned photographs to help determine whether or not the fatality was the result
of abuse. These references explain the role of each core member, including child abuse
prevention professionals, medical examiners, coroners, pediatricians, prosecutors, law enforcement
personnel, mental health professionals, child protective services, domestic violence and
substance abuse experts, vital statistics personnel, educators and public health workers.
This Clinical Guide and Photographic Atlas is a valuable teaching tool in university social
work classes or law enforcement teaching facilities. Anyone potentially involved with a
child fatality review team should not miss out on this one-of-a-kind resource.
Child Fatality Review: Supplementary CD-ROM offers unique material, from legal
documents and findings, to actual video of a child fatality review team in action. This is
an ideal multimedia tool for developing an existing team or training new members
from a wide range of disciplines.
