Combatting Child Abuse - International Perspectives and Trends (Hardcover, New)

The problem of child abuse has become increasingly evident in North America and Western Europe. Many countries are now struggling with issues involving the definition of child maltreatment, reporting requirements, processes for responding to reports, substantiation rates, and services to abused children and their families. This book illustrates alternative approaches to dealing with these problems by examining and comparing the designs of child abuse systems in nine countries: the USA, England, Canada, Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Belgium, and Sweden.
