Parents Killing Children: Crossing the Invisible Line explores
hidden forms of violence within the family. This socio-legal study
addresses the interactions between the family and the state,
focusing on six parent perpetrators and the ways in which child
endangerment is concealed within society. Drawing on symbolic
interactionism, mythology and a modelling of case study data, this
book puts forward a unique conceptualisation of representation and
risk, both on familial and state levels. The failure of the state
to intervene and neutralise volatile perpetrators also sheds light
on the socio-legal status of children - society's most vulnerable -
and the book concludes by discussing means by which the underlying
social conditions and maladies symptomatic of child abuse and
killing should be addressed.
