Child Abuse and Protection

Literature in the child abuse and child protection arena has tended to adopt either a practice or legal perspective. Drawing on their expertise as researchers and leader in their field, Julia Davison and Antonia Bifulco offer a comprehensive and cohesive textbook on child abuse and child protection, drawing on both criminological and psychological perspectives on all forms of child maltreatment and child protection practice and considering both victims and perpetrators.



This book considers a range of areas, from definitions of child abuse and discussions of its prevalence, to an examination of the experiences of children in care, to international perspectives on children within the criminal justice system, to the emergence of online child abuse. This book balances coverage of theory and research and considers implications for practice and policy. It will appeal to a range of disciplines, including criminology, psychology, psychiatry, social work and law.
