This book examines child welfare across a range of services and populations. Special features include a "whole child" integrative approach, interdisciplinary definitions of abuse, best practices for prevention, child well-being trends, and the role of race, gender, class, and religion in child welfare.

Recenzje

This comprehensive, well-written text on child welfare will be a welcome addition to libraries and readers everywhere... Solid and readable, this book fills a significant void in the field. Though it is not flashy or overly engaging, this reviewer recommends it for anyone who has been searching for a single source for students to gain a thorough understanding of current child welfare policy and practice... Summing Up: Highly Recommended
