Abstract
This is a study of the social construction of the "facts" of child sexual abuse by members of multidisciplinary investigation teams. The study identifies the methods used by attorneys, caseworkers, therapists, and other parties to produce and interpret case data, and otherwise "reason through" their decisions to substantiate (confirm) and prosecute sexual abuse cases.
