Who's to Blame: Conceptualising Institutional Abuse by Children.
Barter, Christine
Early Child Development and Care, v133 p101-14 Jun 1997
Examines the conceptualization of abuse of children by peers within institutional settings. Explores the assumptions held about peer behavior and problems and dilemmas around identifying when residents' behavior should be viewed as abusive. Focuses on how the dynamics of institutions influences these definitions and assumptions and how these differ depending on the type of abuse involved. (Author/KB)
