Delving into the political, legal, and social factors of children at risk for abuse and neglect, it chronicles the plight of abused children across the nation and provides a "report card" for each state. With practical, journalisitic, and social scientific approach, this book emboldens child welfare professionals, government representatives, lawmakers, child attorneys, law enforcers, and the general public to respond more effectively and consistently to the needs of children at risk."--BOOK JACKET. 650 0 $a Child abuse $z United States. 650 0 $a Child abuse $x Government policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Abused children $x Government policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Child abuse $z United States $x Prevention. 650 12 $a Child Abuse $x prevention & control $z United States. 650 22 $a Child $z United States. 650 22 $a Child Abuse $x legislation & jurisprudence $z United States. 650 22 $a Child Health Services $z United States. 650 22 $a Health Policy $z United States. 700 1 $a Noblet, Christopher T. 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0819/2008022448.html 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180119033617.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824084603.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20100503151114.0 952 $l N3AX771 $d 20090806113132.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2D7820A682A911DE820800E8A7D7520A 994 $a 02 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
