Investigation of incest: opportunity to motivate families to seek help.
Incest, like other forms of sexual abuse, is a criminal act that society treats ambiguously. Victims are doubly victimized by being subjected to disbelief on the part of those who should protect them. Presented here is a modelfor investigation that not only leads to protection for the victim and prosecution for the perpetrator, but guides the family to take steps toward resolving their problem.
