This book written by specialists in the field is intended for doctors and all professionals involved in child protection. Precise and didactic, it will provide these practitioners with: indications on the actions to be taken in situations of violence against children and adolescents; the steps for medico-legal care adapted to their particular vulnerability; two-way responses to the various issues raised in the field of forensic pediatrics; prospects for development in basic research, diagnostics, training, or even the administrative and judicial systems that oversee child protection. The objectives of this work are to promote the development of a dual competence between forensic medicine and pediatrics and to establish a framework for multi-professional reflection while respecting each person's fields of competence. With the dual perspective of pediatric care and knowledge of medico-legal practices, it provides hospital or private doctors with concrete answers from identification to expertise.
