This book examines child abuse and neglect - the latest research and laws, what it entails, and how to recognize and report it. It considers up-to-date studies and methodology, encourages discussions and debate, and explains judicial rulings. Different forms of maltreatment - physical abuse, neglect, psychological maltreatment, sexual abuse, fetal abuse, and Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome - are explored, as are resilience and prevention. Discussion questions, a glossary, and profiles of people actively working in the field are included. This is an invaluable resource to workers who are mandated reporters of child maltreatment and/or anyone interested in the problem.

Keen, arranged in four parts. The first part covers the history of child maltreatment, research on the subject, and risk factors at the family, child, extrafamilial and cultural levels. It then explains mandated reporting: its history, who must report and when, confidentiality, and whether the requirement does good. The second part gives a chapter to each form of abuse, covering definitions, incidence and effects. The forms are physical abuse (with corporal punishment, and marks from folk medicine that can be mistaken for abuse), neglect, psychological maltreatment, sexual abuse and exploitation, fetal abuse, and Munchausen by proxy syndrome, followed by a chapter on resilience. The third part deals with legal matters, including forensic interviews with child victims, how accurate children's testimony is, and the different kinds of courts. The last part follows a case through Child Protective Services from intake to closure and then turns to prevention. Each chapter ends with discussion questions, and the book closes with a glossary, a list of abbreviations, and subject and author indexes. Feel free to ask for photos or more detail. Ex-Library.
