Runyan, Desmond K.; Dunne, Michael P.; Zolotor, Adam J.
Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v33 n11 p842-845 Nov 2009
The "World Report on Children and Violence", (Pinheiro, 2006) was produced at the request of the UN Secretary General and the UN General Assembly. This report recommended improvement in research on child abuse. ISPCAN representatives took this charge and developed 3 new instruments. We describe this background and introduce three new measures designed to assess the incidence and prevalence of child abuse and neglect.
