<h2>The topic</h2>

<div class="text-wrapper">
<p>
For the past decades, a growing body of scientific studies in <strong>neuropathology, neurology, biomechanics, statistics, and psychology</strong> has cast doubt on the forensic reliability of medical determinations of <strong>Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS)</strong>, also known as <strong>Abusive Head Trauma</strong> (AHT). Studies have increasingly documented that the same findings are caused not only by non-accidental trauma, but also by accidental short falls and a wide range of medical conditions. Nevertheless, inaccurate diagnoses, unrealistic confidence expression, and <strong>wrongful convictions</strong> continue to this day.
</p>
<p>
Bringing together contributions from a <strong>multidisciplinary expert panel</strong> of 32 world-leading professionals, this landmark book explains the scientific evidence challenging the reliability of determinations of <abbr title="Shaken Baby Syndrome/Abusive Head Trauma">SBS/AHT</abbr> and advances efforts to evaluate how deaths and serious brain injuries in infants should be analysed and investigated.
