Child Physical Abuse and Neglect

  • Chapter
Handbook of Psychological Approaches with Violent Offenders

Part of the book series: The Plenum Series in Crime and Justice ((PSIC))

Abstract

Children ideally develop and learn about their world from the safe and stimulating environment of their home. Therefore, it is quite disturbing when violence occurs within the supposedly protective domains of the home and the parent-child relationship, although such acts have been committed throughout history (Zigler & Hall, 1989). Even though acts of child maltreatment have a long history, the concept that society should be responsible for the protection of children, including identification, reporting, and treatment of both the victims and perpetrators of maltreatment, is a relatively recent development.
