Book excerpt: This book, the first to examine the experience of child victims & their families who attempt to seek justice in America's courts, offers practical reforms that would bring greater sensitivity & justice to the legal process. Reviewing American legal history & the equivocal treatment of children & sex crimes, Dziech & Schudson explain how current courtroom procedures often fail to acknowledge a child's abilities & needs, & how child witnesses are often re-victimized by the legal system that is supposed to help them. They argue that there is no justification for subjecting abused children to a second round of trauma -- in court. This important book recommends sweeping changes to assure justice for children, their families, & those accused of harming them.

Book Synopsis Seeking Justice in Child Sexual Abuse by : Karen M. Staller
Download or read book Seeking Justice in Child Sexual Abuse written by Karen M. Staller and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2009-11-20 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Mary County is a small rural midwestern enclave with a unique approach to handling accusations of child sexual abuse. Hoping to spare children the trauma of lengthy court appearances and probing interrogations, St. Mary's professionals strive to obtain confessions from accused sex offenders rather than ask the victim to bear the burden of proof. Treating this county as a critical case study, scholars from a variety of fields come together to analyze this community's unique approach. They address relevant case law, innovative treatments for both victim and offender, and the social history of child sexual abuse as a national policy concern. They cover legal burdens and scientific methods, prosecutors and protocol, the interrogation of victims and suspects, the use of expert witnesses, defense strategies, and practice wisdom in videotaping. In addition, they examine the unfolding drama of a single legal case from incidence to conviction. The result is a fascinating dialogue that confronts the unique complexities of child sexual abuse for readers on all sides of the issue. Introducing a model that makes enormous headway in the pursuit of justice, fairness, and trauma treatment, this interdisciplinary text is an indispensible tool for all communities seeking redress.

This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is inevitable that a Children s Advocacy Center s involvement with children who are suspected victims of child abuse will involve legal matters. A thorough understanding of the legal issues that routinely arise and that affect CACs and their ability to provide services cannot be fully understood and appreciated without legal counsel. There are legal issues triggered by the simple act of a CAC opening a file. As the case progresses, the legal issues often expand exponentially. Ultimately, decisions made that affect the health, welfare and future of a child will be decided in a courtroom or other legal processes leading up to the courtroom. This is the third edition of Legal Letters written by Andrew Agatston to CACs as part of his national Legal Eagle List Serv. It follows his 2010 book, The Legal Eagles Guide for Children s Advocacy Centers: Soaring Confidently in the Courtroom, and his 2009 book, The Legal Eagles Guide for Children s Advocacy Center: A Lawyer s Guide to Soaring in the Courtroom. The Legal Eagles List Serv is now in its 5th year, and has more than 500 subscribers in 45 states.
