Gathering together a wide range of data and theory, it is comprehensive in its coverage and facilitates informed evaluation of the research." - Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health "The book is useful, well structured and easy to read. It manages toaccomplish a great deal and will prove useful and informative to practitioners from many disciplines." - ACPP Review and Newsletter "This book is clearly written, it is easy to read and is virtually free of jargon.

Child Abuse Review
"It is essential reading for practitioners and students in the child protection field."
Child Right
This bestselling book has been updated to take account of the rapid changes in child protection practices since the previous edition. In the United Kingdom, for instance, legal changes related to high profile cases such as the Victoria Climbié case which resulted in the Laming Report in 2003 followed by the Children’s Act in 2004, have altered interagency and intra-agency procedures.
The need to understand child abuse and neglect in its historical, social and political context remains key to this book but the book has been broadened to include issues such as:
- The exploitation and maltreatment of children world-wide (child trafficking, the impact of war on children, and child labour)
- The commercial sexual exploitation of children
- Treatment of child asylum seekers in Britain
- Abuse of children on the internet
- Controversy relating to child deaths (including Munchausen’s syndrome by proxy)
Child Abuse provides key reading for social work students and practitioners who are working, or intend to work, in the field of child protection.

Format:Paperback
I was doing a Home Economics school project on Child Psychology, my teacher told me I needed to find a more specific area, so I chose child abuse. I bought this book immediately & used it for reference, its full of statistics & case studies which were very helpful in giving more specific information.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is taking some knid of degree in child psychology or like me doing a project, its not the kind of book one would read for pleasure, its for information & furthering your knowledge of the subject matter.
All in all a great book, I sincerely doubt I would've gotten an A without it!
