The second edition of Sexual Assault Victimization: Across the Life Span is a comprehensive, evidence-based collection of resource material for the sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) written by experts in the field of forensic medicine and nursing. Chapters address the holistic health needs of the sexual assault patient. Chapters of particular interest for the SANE include those addressing the medical forensic exam and evidence collection. Several chapters address the sensitive needs of special populations such as children, the elderly, victims of gender-based violence, and male patients. The chapters are well written, with attention to detail and current research. There are a plethora of case studies and photographs to illustrate the key points in chapters. Each chapter ends with discussion questions, challenging readers to thoughtfully consider adoption into their practice. These books are a must-have for SANEs and SANE programs.

Sexual Assault Victimization Across the Life Span, Second Edition is an expansive, thorough 3-volume resource for medical professionals and multidisciplinary partners working on behalf of sexual assault victims. Unique to this collection is the focus on evidence-based investigation, diagnosis, evaluation, and the needs of special populations. One author highlights the complex need for understanding the cultural background and semantic/linguistic nuances essential to a compassionate approach to sexual assault victims. Others emphasize the critical importance of a thoughtful, trauma-informed approach to the victim, underscored by a core principle—“Start by believing.”—which may be the key to safe disclosure, participation in a medical forensic evaluation, and cooperation with investigation and prosecution, all of which enhances the likelihood of justice for victims. Each chapter includes current foundational information, clearly delineated lists of symptoms or suggestions, and discussion questions. This should be a go-to reference for sexual assault response team partners in health care, criminal justice, and victim advocacy.

In addition, each chapter starts off with a section designated “Purpose of the Chapter” that sets the agenda for the chapter, followed by the chapter’s learning objectives.

Chapter 1, “Overview of Sexual Assault, Abuse, and Exploitation” is the perfect synopsis of the history of sexual assault and abuse across the life span. Regardless of their background, multidisciplinary team members can glean critical knowledge from the text, which explains the history of sexual assault and child protection laws in the United States and across the world. The chapter “Sexually Transmitted Infections in Sexually Abused Children” concisely covers the epidemiology of the major STIs in children, testing methods, implications of the results, and treatment options. Diagnosing sexual abuse is intrinsically challenging but this chapter provides an exceptional overview for clinicians, while citing outstanding references. “Screening for and Treatment of Sexual Abuse Histories in Boys and Male Adolescents” provides tools to appropriately care for these children. The authors discuss evidence-based research regarding trends in child sexual abuse and highlight slight but important differences between young male and female victims.

The new Sexual Assault Victimization Across the Life Span, Second Edition is a must-have resource for those who care for or respond to victims of sexual assault and abuse. There are several essential texts that I recommend programs consider keeping close at hand for reference, and this book is one of them. SANE programs and multidisciplinary collaborative team members should consider this for their professional bookshelves and libraries. It provides crucial information on the range of issues that may have potential impact on sexual assault victims of all ages. Included in this new edition are critical issues sexual assault examiners and the entire response team can tackle together as they work to provide competent, ethical, patient-focused care. These issues can impact the long-term health and well-being of their patients and ultimately the safety of their communities.

Sexual Assault Victimization Across the Life Span is an intricate and comprehensive compendium of information on all aspects of sexual assault. The breadth and depth of information is exceptional—from detailing the responsibilities of prosecutors and sexual abuse examiners, to a discussion of workplace sexual assault, and issues of dealing with sexual abuse in children with disabilities. This 3-volume compilation should be a mandatory resource in any organization engaged in any facet of sexual assault response or for anyone who wants a resource that deals with any or all of the multiple aspects of sexual abuse. The logical, functional structure of the volumes dividing the subject into investigation, evaluation of children and adults, and lastly, a volume on special settings and survivor populations greatly enhances the ease of using this material.
