Críticas:

"This type of survey and analysis is essential to developing more effective programs and policies for at-risk children and their families. It also is critical to providing guidance for child-protection agencies and their community partners, as well as policy-makers, social workers and advocates for a better, safer world for children. Child Protection will help spark national interest in the child protective services field." -- Policy and Practice

Reseña del editor:

The National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW) is the first nationally representative study of children who have been reported to authorities as suspected victims of abuse or neglect and the public programs that protect them. Child Protection is the first book that reports the results of NSCAW, interprets the findings, and puts them into a broader policy context. The authors, all experts in child welfare issues, address a range of issues made apparent by the survey results, including which types of personal and familial problems the programs are meant to address, the range of services and interventions that the child protection system can make available, and an assessment of these programs. Each chapter discusses the survey's implications and suggests new alternatives for designing and implementing future programs that not only protect at-risk children from further harm but also provide them with security and support. The practical lessons included in this volume make it an essential reference for all professionals working in the child protection field as well as anyone studying in the field of child welfare.
