Literature in the child abuse and child protection arena has tended
to adopt either a practice or legal perspective. Drawing on their
expertise as researchers and leaders in their field, Julia Davison
and Antonia Bifulco offer a comprehensive and cohesive book on
child abuse and child protection, drawing on both criminological
and psychological perspectives on all forms of child maltreatment
and child protection practice together with impacts on the victims.
This book considers a range of areas, from definitions of child
abuse and discussions of its prevalence, to an examination of the
experiences of children in care, to international perspectives on
children within the criminal justice system, to the emergence of
online child abuse and the increasing awareness of historical
abuse. Each chapter draws together key elements in the field,
including prevalence and definition, different disciplinary
approaches; different practice challenges; international impacts;
and technological issues. Brief case studies throughout the book
reflect the voice or experience of the child, ensuring that the
focus remains on the child at the centre of the abuse. Balancing
coverage of theory and research and considering implications for
practice and policy, this book will appeal to a range of
disciplines, including criminology, psychology, psychiatry, social
work and law.
