Child Maltreatment, Third Edition, by Cindy Miller-Perrin and Robin Perrin, is a thoroughly updated new edition of the first textbook for undergraduate students and beginning graduate students in this field. The text is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to child maltreatment by disseminating current knowledge about the various types of violence against children. By helping students understand more fully the etiology, prevalence, treatment, policy issues, and prevention of child maltreatment, the authors hope to further our understanding of how to treat child maltreatment victims and how to prevent future child maltreatment.
Supplements
The text is well organized and written for a Social Work child, abuse, and neglect course. The authors incorporate social theory in defining maltreatment, risk and protective factors, and current evidence and case examples that assist with the application to practice.

I am still waiting for the inspection copy of this book
A useful book - good for supporting the students in their general learning regarding child development and support.
good text book, interesting ideas and easy to read
A fabulous book which adds various materials and ideas for students to utilise.
This is a useful book for anyone that comes into contact with children. It is easy to read with clear definitions of how children can be mistreated.
New instructor - new perspective for the syllabus.
This is a very informative book that would supplement teaching at level 3. In my opinion I feel that this book would be best geared towards a level 5 student - HNC/D
