Summary

Shaken baby syndrome (SBS) is a controversial medical ‘diagnosis’ that is challenged by an increasing number of reputable medical professionals, scientists, and lawyers. This chapter outlines various attacks made on those who challenge the mainstream view of the scientific and forensic reliability of these medical determinations, with the goal of delegitimising their perspective and maintaining the authority of the orthodoxy. The scientific and medical debate in the field has become toxic, described as ‘tribal warfare’. The chapter identifies and explains the fault lines at the interfaces between science, law, and medicine that have led to such an unhealthy environment, and how this has impeded the progress of science in the field.
