Abstract
Description
This study offers a survey of the problems normally associated with investigating child sexual abuse in Indian communities. Material for this study was gathered over a three-year period from 1986-1989. Many of the cases cited here are still in adjudication, which precludes the use of the defendant s name. The list of problems is not exhaustive, but should serve to alert the investigator to some of the difficulties that may be encountered.
