Reviews

'David H. Stone provides an excellent introductory text which summarises the key principles in the field of child injury prevention and goes beyond to share a practical approach to implementation of both unintentional as well as intentional injury prevention strategies. In addition Stone also shares a future perspective for changing and emerging patterns of child injury in relation to our evolving world, including ethical perspectives which need to be considered.' Staying Alive (RoSPA) 'Overall, this is a valuable addition to the injury prevention literature and worthy of inclusion as suggested reading in any course dealing with injury prevention and control or public health. It is worthwhile reading for health-related professionals and students.' Injury Prevention 'a good entry-level, useful introduction to the topic for practitioners. The book will be useful for child accident prevention practitioners such as health visitors, accident prevention coordinators and public health coordinators as well as medical students.'Making the Link, Child Accident Prevention Trust
