There may be no other social problem so common, yet so little
understood by the general public, as child abuse and neglect. This
book is intended to help remedy that situation. After the Cradle
Falls integrates examples from folklore, songs, and news articles
with the latest summary of empirical research to create an
accessible and engaging work intended to provoke the reader to
think about how to address the issue of child abuse and neglect in
America. Written in a conversational style, the book engages the
reader in thinking through why maltreatment occurs, what it looks
like, and what we do and do not know. Most importantly, it asks the
reader to become involved in the solution based on their own
conclusions and values. The contingent in the US that believes that
child maltreatment is not "real" but rather a socially constructed
attempt to punish parents is categorically false and easily refuted
by data. Given the prevailing state of widespread public
misunderstanding about child abuse, its causes and effects, and the
involved systems, After the Cradle Falls is particularly current,
relevant, and useful. It is a must-read for students, professionals
in child advocacy or family services agencies, and policymakers.
Based on a significant body of evidence regarding young children's unique affective, physical, and cognitive development, The Tender Years illuminates the interrelationship of child welfare practice, child development outcomes, and public policy. The authors offer a fundamental framework for decision-making in child welfare and recommend specific changes in policy and practice aimed at moving the system toward greater developmental sensitivity.
