INVESTIGATING SEXUAL ASSAULT CASES 2ED (PB 2022) Paperback

"Investigating Sexual Assault Cases, Second Edition" is a crucial textbook for courses focused on investigating rape and sexual assault. Like the first edition, this updated version includes the newest research and methods for understanding victim experiences, offender types, investigative procedures, interviewing techniques, and legal considerations. This new edition features added chapters on child victims and molestation, the possibility of sexual homicides being staged, the process of grooming, interviewing strategies, and the specific experiences of same-sex individuals, elders, and other vulnerable groups as victims of sexual assault. The book addresses a gap in current literature on rape and sex crime investigation. While existing works offer valuable information, they often don't cover all the investigative steps needed for a comprehensive and thorough investigation. By offering a new perspective on the subject, the author aims to build upon previous writings and ultimately enhance the reader's awareness by being more sensitive to the needs of victims and taking investigative direction from them.
