- Summary:
-
Governments often appear powerless in the face of child sexual abuse within the family. They are increasingly appealed to when yet another scandal erupts. But how can governments help these children? What can be done to prevent child sexual abuse from happening in the first place? These are the guiding themes of this publication. This international comparative study describes how governments can do more than they are actually doing and how they can make better use of available policy instruments.
The core of the book is formed by an investigation of the policies of governments and their use of policy instruments in five Western European nations. Specialists from Belgium (Flanders), Britain, Germany (Rheinland-Pfalz), the Netherlands and Norway describe the prevailing situation in their countries and offer recommendations for improvement. The editors place these observations in a wider child-oriented perspective and formulate pointers for policy makers that are applicable to the whole West-European region. The comparative study and its publication have been facilitated by a grant from the Dutch Ministry of Public Health, Welfare and Sport.
