Child Maltreatment Fatalities in the United States Four Decades of Policy, Program, and Professional Responses

“Therapists and other professionals who work with families with open child welfare or domestic violence cases can learn about the risk factors for future child fatalities, such as the fact that many deaths occur in families already known to social service agencies. Graduate students, law students, or post docs in the fields of prevention science, family law, social policy, or family studies would also benefit from learning about the multidisciplinary work done in this field.” (Tasha R. Howe, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (7), February, 2017)
