New MJP Study Shows Hot Spots Throughout the United States with Higher Rates of Shaken-Baby Syndrome Cases
In December 2013, The Medill Justice Project published the first known study that has identified where people are being accused of shaken-baby syndrome crimes throughout the country. Along with the study, MJP released its national database on shaken-baby syndrome cases to the public for the first time. Given the complexity of the issue and lack of public records, it has taken The Medill Justice Project a year and a half to collect, verify and analyze more than 3,000 cases and identify countrywide patterns and trends. MJP's study was featured by Utah Public Radio, UPI, the ABA Journal and others.
