Abstract

This article addresses SBS from the perspective of the legal practitioner or prosecutor in both the criminal or juvenile/family court. This analysis includes an examination of the procedural alternatives that the legal practitioners or prosecutor may employ to successfully protect the victim of SBS from further injury and to hold the perpetrator legally accountable. Next there is a discussion of the strategies available for effective case building. Finally, we will examine the methods for gathering and presenting evidence to the court.
