+
+## Topic
+
+For the past decades, a growing body of scientific studies in **neuropathology, neurology, biomechanics, statistics, and psychology** has cast doubt on the forensic reliability of medical determinations of **Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS)**, also known as **Abusive Head Trauma (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 **wrongful convictions** continue to this day.
+
+Bringing together contributions from a **multidisciplinary expert panel** of 32 world-leading professionals, this landmark book explains the scientific evidence challenging the reliability of determinations of SBS/AHT and advances efforts to evaluate how deaths and serious brain injuries in infants should be analysed and investigated.
