Description
Child Maltreatment Law: Foundations in Science, Practice and Policy Roger J.R. Levesque ISBN 9780890890677
This casebook examines real-world actions and judicial decisions arising from child maltreatment cases. Levesque presents carefully edited case excerpts and clear explanatory notes that guide readers in understanding the significance of each decision and its relationship to related litigation. The book also draws on cases that incorporate social science evidence, illustrating how society, researchers, and the legal system conceptualize and respond to child maltreatment.
Part I of Child Maltreatment Law focuses on how the legal system defines the major forms of maltreatment that warrant state intervention. Part II analyzes the characteristics of families deemed at risk and the ways in which the state intervenes directly to address maltreatment. Part III explores the difficulties and limitations faced by legal reform efforts aimed at preventing and ending child maltreatment. The appendices support readers who are new to legal cases, terminology, court systems, and the role of social science in legal analysis. Together, these materials offer a strong foundation for understanding key research findings, policy approaches, and legal practices in the field of child maltreatment.
Praised for its clarity and interdisciplinary approach, the casebook has been recognized as a valuable resource not only for law libraries but also for courses in social work and related disciplines. Reviewers have highlighted its effective integration of social science research with legal doctrine and policy, as well as its accessibility for use in law school, graduate, and undergraduate classrooms.
