This collection of 12 new and revised essays on child care and
children's services, written by leading child welfare historian Roy
Parker, draws on his lifetime of research in this area. By
exploring various topics these essays explain significant
political, economic, legal and ideological aspects of this history
from the mid-1850s. This unique and lasting review of child care
services allows readers to understand how the services for some of
society's most vulnerable children have become what they are, how
well they have met and now meet the needs of those children. The
collection provides a high-quality, historical reference resource
that will inform and capture the interest of social work and social
policy students as well as social and legal historians, political
scientists and those involved in administration and government,
struggling with the issues of the day.
