Child Maltreatment in the United Kingdom
This study explores the childhood experience of a national sample of 2869 18-24 year-olds in the UK, including their experience of abuse and neglect. It reviews such issues as the defining and measuring of maltreatment. It gives prevalence figures for physical and sexual abuse, emotional maltreatment, absence of physical care, absence of supervision and bullying by other children. The findings carry serious implications for the UK's child protection system.

Child Maltreatment in the Family
This second report on the national study of child maltreatment focuses on abuse and neglect by parents. It examines aspects of family structure, the relationships associated with different forms of abuse and neglect, and the prevalence of multi-type maltreatment. Young people's accounts show how parental maltreatment in childhood led to problems in relationships and continuing unhappiness in adult life. The report shows that young people sought and received little help from professionals and raises many questions about the framework needed to support and protect them from future maltreatment.

Assessing Risk in Child Protection
The assessment of risk to children from their own families is one of the most sensitive and difficult tasks faced by social workers. The Department of Health commissioned the NSPCC to find ways of feeding research evidence into day-to-day social work practice. The pack includes a separate booklet, Ten pitfalls and how to avoid them, which summarizes the main research findings and takes social workers through the stages of the crucial first interview with a family when an allegation of abuse or neglect has been made. Also included is a chart helping with information collection at referral stage. This publication is aimed at social workers new to child protection, their managers and social work students.
Protecting Powers
The book is based on two research projects on emergency intervention, which were carried out by the author and her colleagues. The studies provide the basis for the three themes in the book: Inter-agency Working; Perceptions of Safety; and Placement and Resource Issues. The combination of quantitative and qualitative research allows a detailed picture of practice that goes beyond an account of what happens, to explore the perceptions, understandings and experiences of the practitioners who make these decisions, as social workers, police officers magistrates’ legal advisers or magistrates, and of the lawyers who advise social workers and parents. The book provides a critical account of current practice in emergency child protection, it identifies good practice and make proposals for reform.
Routledge Revivals: Varieties of Residential Experience (1975)
First published in 1975, this book compiles a number of studies concerning institutional care and children, which address the question of why institutions that serve apparently similar functions differ so much. The book uses comparative methods such as measurement of different ‘dimensions’ of institutional care and analysis of interrelationships among specific structural and functional features which characterise particular institutions. As a result, the book draws broad conclusions about the importance of factors that have dynamic influence on the manner in which institutions function and the reasons why they differ. The editors reject the ‘steampress’ model which postulates that in...
It's someone taking a part of you
It's Someone Taking a Part of You explores the choices and opportunities available to young women who are at risk of, or experiencing, sexual exploitation. Based on 55 case studies, it presents young women's accounts of their experience of violence and sexual exploitation, providing both quantitative and qualitative data about the problems they face. It identifies three different categories of risk, and recommends interventions that could take place at each stage to support the young women concerned. It's Someone Taking a Part of You will be of interest to all those working with young people, particularly field and residential social workers, and other professionals working in and with schools, sexual health services, drug prevention and treatment service, and the police.
Prison Crisis
‘So far we have successfully avoided loss of life during serious disturbances but if the present trend continues there will be a serious loss of control... In such circumstances there is a probability of both staff and prisoners being killed.’ This dramatic warning, given by the prison governors to the Labour Home Secretary, Mr Merlyn Rees, stimulated the setting up of the May Committee in 1978. That Committee then reported and revealed how dangerously explosive the prison system had become. The time was exactly right therefore for a book like Prison Crisis, originally published in 1980, to draw together all of the issues to provide an agenda for public and politicians to use this best c...
Matters of Telling: The Impulse of the Story
In this book, multiple authors and perspectives converge on the materiality of storytelling in order to court its potentialities and flesh out its tensions. Reflecting through its methodological multiplicity not only the vast array of discourses and disciplines that concern themselves with the study of narration, but also the various and variable subjects of the act of telling, the collective effort of this volume is less to map or track than to amplify the possibilities of contingent situations, embodied relations and specific texts in which, beyond the tale, the telling itself speaks and matters.
