Reviews

This volume contains 10 essays on the generational and gender aspects of children and youth as victims and perpetrators of violence. Sociology and other specialists from Europe and North America consider the perception and definition of violence against children, including relevant gender aspects; how societies react towards violence; and the social conditions for these responses. They discuss the perceptions of child welfare workers in child protection services in Germany and the US, conditions influencing the identification of parental behavior as harming a child, and the definition of a domestic homicide; the reactions of social institutions like the criminal justice system in England and Australia and child protection systems in Russia; and conditions for responses towards violence against children, in the context of the role of evolving gender norms in Ethiopia, the battle against child marriage in India and Kyrgyzstan, and child marriage and sexual violence in the US. Distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution. -- Annotation (c)2019 * (protoview.com) *
