Abstract

Looking at children at risk in history, one of the most striking changes over time is the relative and absolute growth of the number of at‐risk children. Although this is not a linear development, the need for intervention and prevention in the 1970s being much weaker than before and after that period, the long‐term direction of history indeed seems to indicate growth. This is a paradox when looking at the social, economic and scientific development of the Western world. Although the ambition of diminishing the group of at‐risk children continues until today, never before in history were more children being diagnosed as at risk.
