Additional Information	Additional Information : This book draws on the leading social theorists of modernity and empirical case material relating to the 130 year history of child protection to provide a new way of thinking about the experience of protecting child in modern Western society. It draws on his extensive historical and contemporary research into social work and child protection practice. To quote what just one of the many positive reviewers have said about it: 'a modern, classic study of social theory, social history and social work practice.'(N. Frost, Child and Family Social Work, (2005), 10, p. 368).
