Child maltreatment recurrence indicates a major
concern about how the Child Protective Systems serve
child wellbeing. Accordingly, a full understanding
of child maltreatment recurrence is the logical
prerequisite for developing proper interventions to
reduce chronic child maltreatment. Understanding the
dynamics of child maltreatment recurrence requires a
knowledge of the pathway from initial report to
subsequent report. Analysing a representative data,
this book deals with crucial issues: operational
definition and ecological perspective of child
maltreatment recurrence; frequency, rates, and
patterns of recurrence; characteristics of
recurrence families; CPS system factors of
recurrence; abuse type and substantiation varying by
recurrence; and multiple child maltreatment
recurrences. This book is academically creditable
because of the relatively intense focus on the
issues that were rarely studied in the literature of
child maltreatment recurrence.
