2nd Edition
by Arthur S. Chancellor
Investigating Sexual Assault Cases, Second Edition
serves as an essential textbook for courses in investigating rape and
sexual assault. As with the first edition, this second edition includes
the latest research and techniques in coverage of victimology, offender
typology, investigative techniques, interviewing, and legal
implications.
This new, second edition includes
chapters on child victims and molestation, sexual homicides as
potentially staged events, grooming, interviewing techniques, and
same-sex, elder, and special populations as victims of sexual assault.
The book fills a current void in the body of literature on the topics of
rape and sex crime investigation. Many previous writings, while
informative, do not address all the investigative processes necessary
for an investigation to be thorough and complete. By providing a fresh
approach to the topic, the author aims to augment those writings and,
ultimately, improving the reader’ awareness by being much more attuned
to the needs of―and taking investigative cures from―the victim.
Key Features:
- Outlines
the complete investigative process for sexual assault cases, from
evidence collection and interviews to court and legal proceedings
- Addresses
victims and victimology, offender typology, the importance of the
investigative interviewing process, and working with attorneys
- Includes new chapters on grooming, sexual homicides, SAFE examinations, and child-specific interviewing techniques
- Added coverage looks at same-sex crimes, crimes against men, elder victims, and assault of vulnerable populations
In addition to being used in coursework in Forensic Science and Criminal justice programs, Investigating Sexual Assault Cases, Second Edition
will serve as an essential reference for police detectives, criminal
and death investigators, legal professionals, sexual assault nurses, and
those who provide health, and mental health, services to populations
experiencing sexual assault.
