State Responses to Child Maltreatment.

Small, Mark A.; Wanke, Kay L.

Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, v21 n1-2 p11-26 1994

State responses to child maltreatment are reviewed: magnitude and extent of the problem, how states have addressed the problem through reporting laws and special courtroom procedures. Limits of state approaches to child maltreatment and the potential for an increased federal role in establishing child maltreatment policy are considered. (Author/LKS)
