Delayed Prosecution For Childhood Sexual Abuse
Discusses the psychological effects of childhood sexual abuse to shed light on the reasons why a victim might delay in making a complaint. This book introduces two categories of delay: those in which the victim remembered the abuse but was unable to complain; and those in which the victim's memory was allegedly lost and later recovered.
