[Positioning of nurses in Criavs and the role of specialized literature].

The circular of August 8, 2008, which founded the resource centers for those working with perpetrators of sexual violence (Criavs), integrates a multidisciplinary vision including nurses. In an entity that does not function like a traditional medical unit, this role necessarily questions its positioning. In order to build up their skills, Criavs nurses will have to call upon all the information available to them, of which the specialized literature is an integral part.
