Less than half of all rapes are reported, and even fewer assailants face conviction. This issue is being addressed by various professionals involved with victims and offenders. The Third Edition of Practical Aspects of Rape Investigation: A Multidisciplinary Approach focuses on the collaboration of five key roles in rape investigations: police investigators, examining nurses, forensic scientists, crisis counselors, and prosecutors. Each role is essential for effectively managing sexual assault cases. The book is reorganized into four sections: 1. **The Victim**: This section explores contemporary issues of rape from the victim's perspective, including Victim Care Services and the Comprehensive Sexual Assault Assessment Tool (CSAAT). 2. **The Investigation**: It examines investigative challenges such as offender types, motivations, false allegations, profiling, child molestation, and issues surrounding investigators. 3. **Forensics and Court**: This part covers physical evidence recovery, trial preparation, and tactics, providing essential knowledge for prosecuting rape cases. 4. **Special Populations**: It focuses on unique offenders, including juvenile and female sexual offenders, gerophiles, serial rapists, and sexual sadists, along with information on sexual predators in nursing homes. New topics include delayed reporting and mental retardation. This edition reflects a commitment to providing the latest insights
