3. Résumé

« The authors assert that how we view, care for, and protect children from abuse is influenced by legal, social, political, economic, cultural, and religious traditions along with an ever-expanding knowledge base regarding child development and the short- and long-term effects of child abuse and trauma. The authors highlight the ways in which child abuse is identified and the resulting intervention by the system. They initiate discussion on several issues - such as whether exposure to domestic violence should be considered child maltreatment. » (p. 8)
