| Summary |
"Mandatory Reporting and Child Abuse surveys the international literature to examine the relationship between mandatory reporting and: the rate of notification of child abuse, poor families, protective services, family support services, and substitute care, rates of re-injury and recidivism, and professional and public attitudes. The thrust of its conclusions is that: mandatory reporting creates the illusion of a "simple" solution to a complex problem, and fragments limited resources on checking reported cases instead of focusing on treatment and rehabilitation."--BOOK COVER |
