McKoy, Y. D. (2002, October/November). Forensic nursing:
A challenge for nursing education. Forensic Nurse
Magazine. Retrieved October 15, 2002, from
http://www.forensicnursemag.com/articles/2a1feat5.html
- The
growing interest in forensic nursing as a nursing
subspecialty is not by happenstance. Increased reports
of violent acts are a constant reminder of the violence
in our society. Violence is a multifaceted problem
that is intimately interwoven into our relationships,
homes, schools, workplaces and communities. The
individuals seen by forensic nurses primarily are
victims of violence, but they may also be perpetrators,
survivors, individuals falsely accused of violent
acts, or as one patient put it, an "overcomer"
of violence. Consequently, the responsibilities,
roles and functions of the forensic nurse are in
part the nursing profession's response to the sequelae
of criminal and interpersonal violence in society.
