thors interviewed nearly 150 people, including researchers, policy makers, social workers and clients of the child welfare system. Both theoretical and practical issues emerge, as the authors discuss the social context of abuse and the scientific context wherein policy is made. They conclude that the following social conditions are essential in effectively reducing abuse: upheld values of self-determination and the health of children; sufficient material and psychological resources for children and families; family-friendly parental leave and child support policies, and empirically grounded and tested prevention programs.Contained within the work is extensive examination of current issues in Aboriginal child welfare.

It is readable and clear enough to be of interest to the general reader who is interested in this intellectually complex and emotionally fraught topic.
