Press reviews for: Culture and Child Protection
Community Care
The book offers a thoughtful analysis of the complexity of child protection work and of the influence of the specific cultural contexts, of practitioners and clients alike, on effective child protection decision-making. It offers approaches for valuing both the professional initiative of workers and the inclusion of clients in service provision.
Te Awatea Review
I enjoyed reading this book. It covered more than I initially thought it would. The reader is comfortably and systematically introduced to the possibility of considering the meaning and implications of culture in child protection work.
Police Journal and Internet Law Books Review
The book has been written for both practitioners and researchers in the domain of child protection. It is also concerned, as previously mentioned, with offenders against children and such offenders are viewed in a compassionate light since very few actively seek to hurt children, albeit their offences against children are likely to be damaging. The aim of the book is to contribute positively towards the protection of children, families and improving the relationships of children, families as well as offenders against children.
