Based on a conference attended by more than 100 experts, the book offers an especially broad study of possible causes of child abuse, the various forms it may take, and the social and cultural conditions associated with its incidence. The book also explores different legal and social strategies that can be used to improve the detection of cases, facilitate prompt reporting, and protect the rights of children at national and international levels. Offering a universal and comprehensive view of child abuse, the book will be essential reading for policy-makers, professionals, and the educated lay public concerned with child health and welfare.
