| Summary |
Child maltreatment is one of the greatest social maladies of our time, and current statistics, although staggering, may reflect only the surface of the problem. Human services professionals are required by law to report known or suspected child maltreatment in the US. This 2nd edition of Mandated Reporting of Suspected Child Abuse offers guidelines and recommendations distilled from the latest empirical literature to respond to mandatory reporting laws in a variety of practice settings. Data on the implications of reporting or not reporting are presented in a "casebook" that summarizes how problems posed by the law can be avoided. New sections also review issues in the mandatory reporting of abuse in other vulnerable populations. In addition, a new chapter on therapeutic jurisprudence explores the therapeutic potential of mandatory reporting laws. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved) |
