Across the nation, there is a growing recognition that law enforcement agencies must play a crucial role in protecting abused and neglected children. Developed through a consensus-building process involving a nationwide group of law enforcement and child protective experts, the authors describes law enforcement agencies--in cooperation with child protective services--can channel their efforts within community-wide child protective efforts.

This book discusses signs of and reasons behind child abuse, as well as the welfare system and social and individual responsibility.
