| Opplysninger | "The majority of child deaths feature no element of wrongdoing and have a natural or medical explanation. However, a small number, often hard to identify because of the vulnerability of particularly young children, are the result of abuse including neglect or deliberate physical assaults. This book, with the assistance of contributions from experienced professionals involved in child death investigations, together with those directly and indirectly impacted by child death, endeavours to outline a sensitive, supportive but thorough, balanced and informed practical approach. In England and other jurisdictions there are statutory legal processes, guidance and legislation covering many aspects of child death. This practical text aims to highlight, outline and explain in sufficient detail from a multi-agency perspective how all of these work together in practice, including an understanding of accepted regional variations. A key element of any child death investigation is understanding the parental and family perspectives - these are largely covered by contributions from parents themselves whose children have died alongside information from related child bereavement support organisations, related research and child death reviews. This edition now includes a valuable psychological insight into how an understanding of personality types, offending behaviours and motivation can inform professionals understanding and approach, including the relationship between the possible offence and offender. Child death investigations with their multi-agency facets and working are constantly evolving with updated guidance, revised or new legislation and improved working practices - often sadly informed by reviews into previous child death enquiries. Whilst this edition recognises these continuing changes it is hoped that the core material will always be of value to all of those involved or impacted by a child death - an event that is against the perceived natural order of events in life - and help contribute to answering ultimately the key question all are asking 'Why did this child die?'"--
