Child Protection Policy and Practice at Century's End
Year: 2000
Type: preprint
Abstract: This essay reviews how federal laws, such as the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act and the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act/Adoption and Safe Families Act, have led to improvements in state laws and local court practices. It discusses how the intended impact of some reforms have yet to be adequately achieved, and where additional legal action is needed in the new century to address child abuse and neglect more effectively, including aid to victimized youth now denied adequate protection of the laws.
