Violations of Trust

How Social and Welfare Institutions Fail Children and Young People

Herausgeber: Bessant, Judith

Beschreibung

The past few decades have brought to light increasing evidence of systemic and repeated institutional abuse of children and young people in many western nations. This book documents comprehensively a full range of abuse occurring in 'caring' and 'protective' institutions, with particular reference to the Australian case. The dominant theme is 'betrayal' and, in particular, the ways in which agencies charged with the care and protection of children and young people become the sites of abusive practices.
