Contributors to this volume present the best available research on policies and programs designed to prevent child abuse and neglect. They examine a gradual shift in the field of child maltreatment toward prevention and explore how insights into the risk factors for maltreatment can help target prevention efforts. They assess whether programs such as community-wide interventions, parenting programs, home-visiting, drug and alcohol treatment, and school-based educational programs on sexual abuse, can prevent maltreatment. They also explore how the Child Protective System might take a more active role in prevention.
