Research and Practices in Child Maltreatment Prevention is an in-depth and conceptually rich 2-volume set that reviews the history, present, and potential future of child maltreatment prevention. Prevention should be a top priority for every professional, agency, and institution addressing child maltreatment. Without the unified vision and effort of everyone involved in mitigating the terrible toll of child maltreatment, we risk the perception, and perhaps even the reality, of becoming a child abuse industry, merely processing victims and perpetrators rather than effecting the revolutionary social movement to ensure a better future for children, families, and societies that I, and most of my colleagues, envision.

With more than 80 contributors representing business, child advocacy, counseling, economics, education, government, law, medicine, psychology, public health, social science, and social work, these 2 volumes are the most current and comprehensive resource addressing child maltreatment prevention. Every private and public agency, educational department, hospital, library, and most professionals involved in the child maltreatment field should have ready access to this information, whether it be on their bookshelves or online. Thanks to Randy Alexander for leading this effort and to all the contributors for their dedication to a brighter tomorrow.
