Children of Neglect

TRAMA

Child neglect is at least as risky for children as child abuse. Less is known about child neglect than child abuse and interventions are often less effective. This book contains a comprehensive review of the current state of child neglect. Included are statistics regarding incidence and lethality, definitional issues, etiological theory, history of and current policy, and current interventions. As child neglect is often linked with structural issues, the book also examines the relationship of child neglect to poverty, substance abuse and culture.
