Protecting Children in Time

Focusing on the concept of child protection, this book offers a fresh analysis of how social interventions have evolved over the last 120 years to prevent harm to children. By examining case studies and integrating insights from prominent social theorists, it redefines child abuse and protection as a complex social issue. The text explores the dynamics between professionals, at-risk children, and families, proposing innovative frameworks for effective intervention strategies that enhance understanding of these critical relationships.
