Description
This book examines child abuse and neglect - the latest research and laws, what it entails, and how to recognize and report it. It considers up-to-date studies and methodology, encourages discussions and debate, and explains judicial rulings. Different forms of maltreatment - physical abuse, neglect, psychological maltreatment, sexual abuse, fetal abuse, and Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome - are explored, as are resilience and prevention. Discussion questions, a glossary, and profiles of people actively working in the field are included. This is an invaluable resource to workers who are mandated reporters of child maltreatment and/or anyone interested in the problem.
Reviews / Votes
"One of the primary reasons I chose this text was the writing. My students find it clear, engaging and undergraduate appropriate. ... Most texts are overly detailed in some spots and missing-in-action for others. ... I also love that the authors have put mandated reporting before the types of abuse. Students are fascinated by this topic. ...Far more than any other text, this book gets it right. I would definitely use this text." - Cathy K. Brown, Montclair State University, USA"The writing style is clear and engaging. ... The cases, boxes, discussion questions, and other teaching tools in this book are about the best I have seen. ...The things I really like are ... the glossary, the appendix of abbreviations, the state laws and court cases, boxed inserts, and discussion questions. ... I have seen nothing on the market that comes close to matching McCoy and Keen when it comes to clear definitions, relevant legal cases and statutes, and inserts and questions." - Phil Davis, Georgia Southern University, USA
"I selected it ... because it was by far the most informative of the texts I reviewed. ... The writing style ... accommodates its undergraduate audience while still keeping more advanced students interested. ...Dr. McCoy did an excellent job with her overview of the literature. ...The discussion questions ... often stimulate debate among my students. ... I had more than one social work major tell me that [the chapter on mandated reporting] was more informative ... than entire classes in the social work program. ... This text ... is exceptionally well done." - Stephanie Walker, University of Wyoming, USA
"The book is very nicely written, especially for an undergraduate audience. ... I like the authors' idea re: adding "Profiles." I too have many students who ask me ... [about] the possibilities following graduation. ... The text offers breadth and depth at an appropriate level." - C. Theresa Yancey, Georgia Southern University, USA
