Preventing Child Maltreatment: Community Approaches (Duke Series in Child Develpment and Public Policy)by Kenneth A. (edt) Dodge
Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:For psychologists, social workers, counselors, nurses, policy makers, graduate students, and others, Dodge (public policy studies and psychology and neuroscience, Duke U.) and Coleman (law, Duke U.) assemble 11 chapters on community-based child abuse prevention programs. Contributors, who work in pediatrics, child and family health and policy, human development, nursing, law, and psychology in the US, describe a nurses' home visiting program, access to community services and informal support networks, and an educational campaign for parents of newborns to prevent shaken baby syndrome. They also address issues involving quality improvement, differential response, family privacy, court-based programs, and connecting services to health care, early education, and child welfare systems. The volume originated in a conference held at Duke U. in October 2007. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Synopsis:Many child abuse prevention programs have targeted factors within the family, such as parenting skills. This book describes the next wave of prevention: the promotion of safer, healthier childrearing environments in entire communities. The contributors are leading authorities who illuminate how contextual factors—including poverty, chaotic neighborhoods, and lack of social supports—combine with family factors to place children at risk for maltreatment. They present a range of exemplary programs designed to strengthen communities while also helping individual parents to meet their children's needs. Real-world evaluation approaches, quality-control strategies, and policy implications are discussed in depth. About the AuthorKenneth A. Dodge, PhD, is the William McDougall Professor of Public Policy Studies and Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University, where he is also Director of the Center for Child and Family Policy. He has been honored with the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the American Psychological Association and the Senior Scientist Award from the National Institutes of Health.
