Description:

Lost Innocents reports the authors' major study into fatal child abuse in the UK. The authors review the knowledge about fatal child abuse, discuss an interactional framework for understanding it and professional responses to it.

Synopsis:

Lost Innocents is a follow-up to Beyond Blame: Child Abuse Tragedies Revisited (1993). In their new book, Peter Reder and Sylvia Duncan use the same process of case analysis and apply it to a more representative sample of cases. They describe the theoretical basis and method of the study and its findings, before going on to discuss their practical implications, and their opinions about the case review process itself. Finally, the authors discuss whether child abuse fatalities can be predicted or prevented.
