The Relationship of Child Abuse Indicators to the Assessment of Perceived Risk and to the Court's Decision to Separate.

Dalgleish, Lenard I.; Drew, Elisabeth C.

Child Abuse and Neglect: The International Journal, v13 n4 p491-506 1989

This paper operationally defines a set of indicators for the decision to separate the child and family in child abuse cases. Application of the indicators to 152 cases of suspected child abuse in Australia found that severity of abuse, parenting, and the family social system were most predictive of a final separation outcome.
