Abstract

PluripotentViolence is a phenomenon that exist in all societies, but it’s prevalence and incidence is still unstudied in Arabian societies . The current research analyses the causes of death of the children in Damascus and estimating the distribution of fatal CAN cases. The method of the research was retrospective study of the records of the justice palace of registered deaths during last 5 years. The sample included 968 death cases, 644 male and 324 female, primal cause was traffic accidents which caused the death of 45% of the cases, then falling caused 17% and burning caused 11.6%. The cases that were registered as a fatal CAN were just 0.6% which indicates that these cases are not being detected sufficiently. Counterchecking the records we expected 287 case to be probable CAN case, the primal cause was neglect (70-80%) then physical abuse (17-27%) and emotional abuse (1-5%). Sexual abuse didn’t appear in the records as a cause of death. Correlation between abuse and gender was weak in the sample.
