TORONTO, Sept. 24, 2026 /CNW/ -- Domestic Violence Human Trafficking: A Canadian Perspective (with the complete descriptive subtitle Domestic Violence: Nonfatal Strangulation. IPV Concussions. Human Trafficking. A Canadian Perspective). We are announcing this book release and is now available on amazon.ca
It is written by Dr. James Frizzell, a practicing dentist based in Niagara Falls, Ontario, who trained in dental forensics at McGill University.
Published by West Bow Press, the book is designed as an educational and training tool aimed at both healthcare providers and legal professionals to improve victim recognition, proper documentation, and expert testimony.
Core Topics & Chapters of Book:
The book covers several highly overlooked aspects of intimate partner violence (IPV) and human trafficking, specifically emphasizing a Canadian context:
- Nonfatal Strangulation (NFS): Identifying the hidden clinical signs and high-risk nature of strangulation in domestic abuse cases.
- IPV Concussions: Addressing traumatic brain injuries suffered by victims of partner abuse, referencing the work of top experts like Dr. Eve Valera.
- Human Trafficking: Focuses on domestic trafficking patterns, including a specific chapter dedicated to indigenous women and girls.
- Trauma-Informed Care: Practical approaches for professionals interacting with survivors.
Target Audience for Training
Dr. Frizzell highlights that standard training across multiple systems is required to bridge the gap between initial victim contact and legal justice. The book specifically outlines curriculum guidelines needed for:
- Medical & Dental Staff: Emergency room physicians, ER nurses, paramedics, and dental healthcare professionals (who often see signs of head and neck trauma).
- Law Enforcement: First-responding police officers and specialized detectives.
- Legal Professionals: Crown prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges.
