Provides accessible information on child sex offenders and explains how to successfully apply that information in everyday assessment and intervention practice. The book, drawing on research and empirical evidence, focuses on mothers and partners acknowledging the pivotal role they play in child protection and child protection decision making. It aims to help maximise women’s ability to understand risk, to protect and to meet the needs of the child and family; and to identify those situations where that cannot be dome and where children need to be protected by other means. In the last two chapters it provides a practice guide for assessment and intervention with mothers and partners. (Edited publisher abstract)
