Summary
This chapter describes how countries around the world are addressing issues and cases of alleged child abuse and/or SBS/AHT. It includes contributions from the following countries: China, India, Israel, Luxembourg, Norway, New Zealand, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Ecuador, Peru, Argentina and Costa Rica, with the last four countries responding via a collective interview conducted with a group of medical examiners and a neurosurgeon from those countries. These contributions show that a large number of countries continue to rely on triad-only medical determinations of abusive shaking, a diagnostic process that has yet been officially disavowed by medical authorities for more than a decade.
