Books in the Wiley Series in Child Care & Protection series

The process of interviewing a child can be a daunting experience for both the child and the interviewer. Interviewing Children offers practical advice for understanding the linguistic abilities of children and for applying that knowledge effectively to the evidentiary interview.

This comprehensive handbook is a thoroughly up-to-date reference for all those involved in child protection work and is based on the highly successful Early Prediction and Prevention of Child Abuse, which is considered a key text in the field.

Based on interviews with protective workers and rigorous examination of their cases, this book draws links between the traumatized and isolated child protection worker and the traumatized and isolated re-abused child.

Although most families do not repeat the patterns of abuse of their childhood, there is evidence that, for whatever reason, substantial numbers do.

Care of children from abusive or neglected homes is an increasing problem in today's society. Whether children should be placed in residential care, or community care through adoption is a topic of debate. This book summarizes the results of a survey commissioned by the Department of Health.

Children, Child Abuse and Child Protection is the second book written by the Violence Against Children Study Group, a multidisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners from a range of professional settings concerned with child protection. This book follows on from the highly successful Taking Child Abuse Seriously, published in 1990.
