Abstract
The central purpose of this book is to critically analyse recent developments in child protection, together with identifying some of the current challenges. In doing so, it argues that what we now call ‘child protection’ has a history and line of development that has been influenced by a range of social, economic, cultural and political changes over a century and a quarter, and that a knowledge of this history is crucial to explaining and understanding the current form and function of this area of policy and practice. This is not to suggest that the developments have been straightforward or linear, or that what is referred to as ‘child protection’ is in any way solid, as a whole range of complexities, tensions and contingencies have fed into its emergence.
