"The National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW) is
the first nationally representative study of children who have been
reported to authorities as suspected victims of abuse or neglect
and the public programs that protect them. Child Protection is the
first book that reports the results of NSCAW, interprets the
findings, and puts them into a broader policy context. The authors,
all experts in child welfare issues, address a range of issues made
apparent by the survey results, including which types of personal
and familial problems the programs are meant to address, the range
of services and interventions that the child protection system can
make available, and an assessment of these programs. Each chapter
discusses the survey's implications and suggests new alternatives
for designing and implementing future programs that not only
protect at-risk children from further harm but also provide them
with security and support. The practical lessons included in this
volume make it an essential reference for all professionals working
in the child protection field as well as anyone studying in the
field of child welfare. "
