Description

This is a comprehensive text, providing an introduction to current knowledge about various types of violence against children. The author deals with sexual, physical, and emotional child abuse, neglect and the effects of witnessing abuse.

An Instructor's Manual is available to adopters, who request the manual on their departments' or organizations' letterhead.
