Child
Sexual Abuse Trials – Laws, Procedures and Precedents examine how laws and
procedures are being applied to bring justice to the victims of CSA and how the
same laws and procedures are either not applied to deny justice to the child
victim or interpreted so as to not believe the abuse of the child victim. One
of the purposes of this book is to unravel and simplify the use of the legal
system for getting justice for affected children. Another important purpose is
to acquaint readers with the prevalence of CSA across the nation, potential
difficulties that child victims may have to face after reporting the offense,
possible loopholes that could fail the prosecution and conflicting views on the
same set of circumstances right from the registration of abuse to final
disposal of the appeal challenging the acquittal or the conviction by the trial
court. The chapters focus on shortcomings that surface during the
investigation, adjudication and treatment stages of CSA. At the same time, the
best practices evolved through precedents to assure the well-being of children
as victims are also included to benefit future justice seekers. Further, the
relationship between poverty and CSA, between family support and victimization,
between medical evidence and judicial reasoning is also explored and analyzed
to understand how these relationships influence the outcome of CSA trials.
Child Sexual Abuse Trials – Laws, Procedures and Precedents will be of use to
everyone engaged in any way with CSA trials be it the victim or the accused,
investigating agencies or prosecution, defence or adjudicating officials,
judges or academia, non-governmental organizations or government agencies
laying down the law on the subject.
