Sexually Abused and Abusing Children in Substitute Care:
No Customer Reviews
This is one of the books in the Wiley/Department of Health series on residential care. Residential care is an increasingly important topic in social welfare. The series, based on research for the DOH, represents the most up-to-date and authoritative research in this area. This book examines the management of sexually abused and abusing children in foster and residential care. The authors gathered data from a review of 250 carefiles to compare the needs and vulnerability of sexually abused and abusing children with those of non-abused children in care. Drawing on information from their detailed follow-up study of 40 children, the authors explore the management of sexually abused and abusing children inside and outside their placements. They examine the risks these children pose to other residents and foster carers? own children, and the children's vulnerability to further abuse and exploitation. The authors highlight three different groups of children who have distinctive needs for management and placement: prostitutes; sexualised adolescent girls; and young abusers. The book provides a rich source of essential messages for policy and practice aimed at minimising the risks to these children and others.
