Crimes against Children

Internet Exercises

    1.  Check out the Office of Juvenile and Delinquency Prevention's "Battered Child Syndrome: Investigating Physical Abuse and Homicide" at www.ncjrs.org/html/ojjdp/portable_guides/bcs/contents.html. This guide focuses on investigative procedures for battered-child syndrome, shaken-baby syndrome, Munchausen syndrome by proxy, and sudden infant death syndrome.

    2.  For a comprehensive site on information, news, statistics, and other issues regarding sexual abuse against children, check out www.prevent-abuse-now.com. Find out if sex-offender registration or community notification laws apply in your state and community. If they do, what are the conditions of the registration? Is the community actively or passively notified of convicted sex offenders? If information about your state and community is not provided at this site, check your local and state law enforcement sites.
