Child Protection is the first book that reports the results of NSCAW, interprets the findings, and puts them into a broader policy context.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors, all experts in child welfare issues, address a range of issues made apparent by the survey results, including which types of personal and familial problems the programs are meant to address, the range of services and interventions that the child protection system can make available, and an assessment of these programs. Each chapter discusses the survey's implications and suggests new alternatives for designing and implementing future programs that not only protect at-risk children from further harm but also provide them with security and support. The practical lessons included in this volume make it an essential reference for all professionals working in the child protection field as well as anyone studying in the field of child welfare.\u003c\/p\u003e \"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eRon Haskins \u003c\/b\u003e is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a senior consultant at the Annie E.
