Abstract: This report of the select committee finds that reports of child abuse, particularly sexual abuse, are rising, reports of child neglect continue to rise, needed services are on the decline, two factors lead to increase of abuse (economic, public awareness), prevention is receiving increased attention, programs for prevention reduce abuse and neglect, and states lack sufficient law enforcement about how funds for child abuse services were spent.
"This book is a comprehensive study of the principal child welfare services. It begins by defining child welfare, placing it as a field of practice within social work, and presents a scheme for the categorization of child welfare problems in terms of role theory. It goes on to provide a historical perspective on how and why child welfare services developed and to describe the current socioeconomic context in which they operate."--Preface (p.v).
