The past decade has seen increased awareness of the varied vulnerability of children to accident, abuse and assault. Child vulnerability is beginning to be seen as a comprehensive problem in child development--vulnerability which changes with age and associated intellectual and social skills or behavioral characteristics. It is also strongly associated with parental situations and wider aspects of the social environment. The book covers: child pedestrian accidents; accidents in the home and at play; bullying; drug abuse; physical abuse and sexual abuse. Each chapter offers a research summary of the nature of the problem together with a summary and evaluation of intervention and preventative approaches, emphasizing what is most likely to be effective. With its focus on intervention and prevention,Child SafetyFrom Preschool to Adolescencewill be especially valuable in educational settings, but will also be useful to a wide variety of professional areasincluding social work, the law, medicine and psychology.
