This Handbook examines core questions still remaining in the field
of child maltreatment. It addresses major challenges in child
maltreatment work, starting with the question of what child abuse
and neglect is exactly. It then goes on to examine why maltreatment
occurs and what its consequences are. Next, it turns to prevention,
treatment and intervention, as well as legal perspectives. The book
studies the issue from the perspective of the broader international
and cross-cultural human experience. Its aim is to review what is
known, but even more importantly, to examine what remains to be
known to make progress in helping abused children, their families,
and their communities.
