Child abuse and neglect

Historically, it has been difficult to measure child maltreatment because researchers, agencies, and states all define it differently. Child Abuse and Neglect tackles this issue in three main ways: 1) it examines the history of classification and identification, 2) it provides specific suggestions for future empirical work and model development by looking at what is currently available, and 3) it gives researchers an overview of how policy trends and practice can advance or impede progress in this area. A foundational book intended to move researchers toward an integrated model of child abuse and neglect research so that they can begin to influence policy and practice; this book is ideal for practitioners in that it covers current and promising methods and instruments that can be used today.
