Description

The current system of protecting society's children from abuse is failing miserably.

In this volume, scholars affiliated with universities and professional associations nationwide pinpoint a better strategy.

Their research spotlights neighborhood-based child protection systems and provides a comprehensive approach for creating procedures that meaningfully address child maltreatment. The volume discusses the challenges of moving toward such a system within the current legal, political, and cross-cultural contexts of child protection.

Examples of promising applications of a community-based approach are cited.

Also cited are the legal and practical structural steps to be taken in creating caring communities that effectively address child abuse and neglect.
