Rethinking Children, Violence
and Safeguarding
Lorraine Radford
‘Essential reading for all those studying
or working with children and young
people – this book will challenge and shift
our thinking about violence in children’s
lives.’ Nicky Stanley, Professor of Social
Work, University of Central Lancashire, UK
• Disseminates new thinking, research,
scholarship and practices on this topical
area
• Succinct and accessible, each chapter encourages further
debate and taking an inter-disciplinary approach
• Covers a core area studied on Childhood Studies BA courses
Rethinking Children, Violence and Safeguarding explores the
victimization of children as well as children who use violence
towards others. Lorraine Radford argues that the way we ‘think’
about children and violence has had a profound impact on
actions against the abuse of children and children who commit
violence.
LORRAINE RADFORD is an independent researcher and former Head of
Research at the NSPCC.
