      abstract = {The second edition of this successful handbook, edited by  well-known experts in this field, includes core questions  in the field of child abuse and neglect. It addresses major  challenges in child maltreatment work, starting with "What  is child abuse and neglect?" and then examines why  maltreatment occurs and what are its consequences. The  handbook also addresses prevention, intervention,  investigation, treatment as well as civil and criminal  legal perspectives. It comprehensively studies the issue  from the perspective of a broader, international and  cross-cultural human experience. Apart from a thorough  revision of existing chapters, this edition includes many  new chapters covering recent developments in this area and  other issues not covered in the first edition. There is  more focus on substance abuse, psychological abuse, and on  social and community involvement and public health  provisions in the prevention of child maltreatment. The  handbook examines what is known now and more importantly  what remains to be researched in the coming decades to help  abused and neglected children, their families and their  communities, thereby taking the field forward},
