"The criminal justice system encompasses the most severe instrument at the state's disposal in times of peace. For this and many other reasons, overuse of that system is a serious matter. It may present itself in different forms. Overuse of criminalization may mean that too much conduct is criminalized without necessity. Overuse of prosecution may present itself if too many violations of criminal offences are prosecuted, while in certain individual cases or specific categories of cases it would be more effective, fairer, more efficient or otherwise desirable to refrain from prosecution and/or to apply alternative means, such as negotiating justice or administrative fines. Finally, the criminal justice system can be overused through the application and execution of too many or too severe prison sentences. All these forms of overuse are discussed in this volume. It contains one introductory chapter, seven thematic chapters and sixteen chapters on individual countries around the world. Themes discussed in these chapters are, among others, the principle that criminal law is and must be regarded as a so-called ultima ratio or ultimum remedium, the relevant human rights framework, worldwide statistics, and legal and practical restraints as well as possibilities to solve overuse. Containing an extensive collection of expert knowledge, this volume intends to expose legal possibilities, good practices and the many challenges that lie ahead when attempting to prevent overuse in the criminal justice system."

"Penganiayaan anak merupakan masalah sosial dan masalah medis yang penting dan dapat menyebabkan kecacatan dan kematian pada anak. Angka kejadian penganiayaan anak dalam setahun diperkirakan sekitar 15 sampai 42 kasus diantara 1000 anak dan terdapat kecenderungan peningkatan. Patah tulang merupakan tanda klinis kedua terbanyak yang ditemukan setelah lesi kulit, dan sekitar sepertiga anak yang teraniaya akan mendatangi ahli bedah tulang. Kami melaporkan seorang anak laki-laki berusia 7 bulan yang diduga mengalami penganiyaan anak. Diagnosis kami didasarkan pada temuan patah tulang multiple, keterlambatan dalam mencari pertolongan medis dan perbedaan antara riwayat perjalanan penyakit dengan temuan klinis. Anak tersebut mengalami patah tulang multipel dengan proses penyembuhan yang bervariasi, termasuk patah tulang pada suprakondilar humerus kiri, radius dan ulna kiri, radius dan ulna kanan, kedua tulang femur, tibia kanan serta tibia dan fibula kiri. Pemeriksaan radiologis merupakan modalitas yang penting dalam menegakkan kemungkinan adanya penganiayaan pada anak tersebut. Anak tersebut telah mendapatkan penanganan medis, proteksi, kelompok konsultasi untuk kedua orang tua dan sedang dalam penyelidikan pihak kepolisian. (Med J Indones 2004; 13: 59-65)

Child abuse is a pervasive social and medical problem that remains a major cause of disability and death among children. The annual incidence of abuse is estimated to be 15 to 42 cases per 1,000 children and appears to be increasing. Fractures are the second most common presentation of physical abuse after skin lesions, and approximately one third of abused children will eventually be seen by an orthopedic surgeon. We report a 7-month-old boy who was suspected to be abused. Our diagnosis was based on findings of multiple fractures, delay in seeking medical treatment and discrepancy between the history of illness and the clinical findings. He sustained multiple fractures in variety of healing, namely fractures on left supracondylar humeri, left radius and ulna, right radius and ulna, both femora, right tibia, and left tibia and fibula. Radiological examination was an important modality in revealing the possibility of abuse on this child. He had received medical treatment, protection, consultation team for the parents and an underway police investigation. (Med J Indones 2004; 13: 59-65)."
