Drawing on original research, this book provides a major critique of contemporary child protection research, policy and practice.

In the process, it provides a unique insight into the nature of child protection work and the way practitioners respond to the inherent tensions and difficulties involved. It is essential reading for anyone interested in this major personal and social issue. |
