During the past decade, a dramatic increase in research and
clinical interest has risen in child abuse and neglect. This recent
growth in awareness isdue at leastpartly to
thealarmingstatisticsdocumentingthe incidence of child
maltreatment. Almost one million children are re ported to be
abused and neglected each year, and many experts believe that this
figure underestimates the true incidence. Indeed, recentsurveys
suggest that almost 1. 5 million children are the targets of
domestic vio lence every year. A significantproportion of these
children die as a func tion of this maltreatment, whereas
theremaindersuffera variety ofshort and long-term deleterious
medicaland psychosocial consequences. Child maltreatment is a
universal problem that has precipitated a mobilization of effort
from a variety of disciplines, including psychology, medicine,
psychiatry, social work, sociology, and criminology. Particular
attention has been directed toward the prevention and treatment of
childabuse and neglect. Such endeavors require the screen ing of
large groups in order to identify families that are at high-risk
for engaging in such behavior. Delineating those characteristics
that differ entiate high- from low-risk families and children is
one of the obvious priorities for researchers and clinicians in the
future. This book, there fore, carefully considers the status of
research on risk factors of abuse and neglect in children. Adduced
data undoubtedly will have practical value for subsequent
intervention efforts."
