RE: prevention history

[Kimberly Rapoza <krapoza@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, 

I also had to find some general historical information on family 
violence and child abuse for a book chapter I wrote (the book is 
International Perspectives on Family Violence: A Cognitive-Ecological 
Approach). I found an article by Pleck to be very useful for an 
in-depth historical look at the legal system and early intervention 
programs. The citation for the article is....

AU: Pleck,-Elizabeth
IT: Criminal approaches to family violence, 1640-1980.
BK: (2003). Silberman, Matthew (Ed), Violence and society: A reader. 
(pp.161-173). Upper Saddle River, NJ, US: Prentice Hall. xvii, 364 pp.


I can e-mail a copy of the chapter if you would like (although it does 
not focus only on child abuse, it does contain that information)
