STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the publication of a Special Issue of Child Abuse and Neglect The International Journal 1989-2009 on the 20th Anniversary of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
The Special Issue aims to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It provides an overview of two decades of development in the areas of child maltreatment research, data collection, and reporting practice, as required by the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Also, it will facilitate information and practice exchange to support governments and professionals in their important efforts globally. The Special Issue will be freely available online for a year, along with Part 2 of the Special Issue which will be published in January 2010.
Child Abuse & Neglect The International Journal provides an international, multidisciplinary forum on all aspects of child abuse and neglect, with special emphasis on prevention and treatment. The scope further extends to all those aspects of life which either favour or hinder child development. While contributions will primarily be from the fields of psychology, psychiatry, social work, medicine, nursing, law enforcement, legislature, education, and anthropology, the journal encourages the concerned lay individual and child-oriented advocate organisations to contribute. It is the official publication of the International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (ISPCAN)
