A rapidly expanding child abuse industry, consisting of enterprising psychotherapists and attorneys, consumes enormous resources. At the same time, thousands of poor children are seriously injured or killed, many while being "protected" by public agencies. The growing interest in child abuse as a middle class problem has led to the frenzied pursuit of offenders, resulting in the sacrifice of innocent children and adults. The Politics of Child Abuse in America presents a compelling analysis of these problems, revealing the historical patterns that gave rise to them and presenting practical policy recommendations. It will be an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and professionals in social work, as well as for anyone concerned about the welfare of children in the United States. 000350992 650_0 $$aAbused children$$xServices for$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000350992 650_0 $$aChild abuse$$zUnited States$$xPrevention$$xHistory. 000350992 650_0 $$aSocial work with children$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000350992 7001_ $$aKarger, Howard Jacob,$$d1948- 000350992 7001_ $$aStoesz, David. 000350992 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aCostin, Lela B.$$tPolitics of child abuse in America.$$dNew York : Oxford University Press, 1996$$z9780195089301$$w(DLC) 94049130$$w(OCoLC)31867380 000350992 830_0 $$aChild welfare (Oxford University Press) 000350992 8520_ $$bacq 000350992 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000350992 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000350992 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1591249$$zOnline access 000350992 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1591249$$zOnline Access 000350992 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:350992$$pGLOBAL_SET 000350992 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000350992 980__ $$aBIB 000350992 982__ $$aEbook 000350992 983__ $$aOnline
