| Summary: | The tragedy of child abuse and neglect is in the forefront of public attention. Yet, without a conceptual framework, research in this area has been highly fragmented. Understanding the broad dimensions of this crisis has suffered as a result.<br>This new volume provides a comprehensive, integrated, child-oriented research agenda for the nation. The committee presents an overview of three major areas: <br>o"Definitions and scope"--exploring standardized classifications, analysis of incidence and prevalence trends, and more.<br>o"Etiology, consequences, treatment, and prevention"--analyzing relationships between cause and effect, reviewing prevention research with a unique systems approach, looking at short- and long-term consequences of abuse, and evaluating interventions.<br>o"Infrastructure and ethics"--including a review of current research efforts, ways to strengthen human resources and research tools, and guidance on sensitive ethical and legal issues.<br>This volume will be useful to organizations involved in research, social service agencies, child advocacy groups, and researchers. |
