Brings together a number of different accounts of institutional abuse from academics and researchers. Uses a life course perspective and looks at four areas: children, adults with learning difficulties, adults with mental health problems, and older people. Each section includes a critical overview, analysis of current research and a chapter reporting on users' experiences of abuse. Aims to develop an understanding of how institutional abuse can be prevented and survivors' needs can be met.
