Recensioner i media

“This book provides a comprehensive, practice-based account of child protection systems from scholars and frontline practitioners across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. Exploring how maltreatment is defined, reported, and addressed, each chapter examines real-world responses to child maltreatment, which enriches our understanding of child protection practices in under-researched regions.” Neil Gilbert, University of California, Berkeley
