When society fails to protect children who suffer, mass media, the public, and professionals are appalled. Individual social managers and social workers are often held accountable and made scapegoats, but the causes of the fundamental shortcomings must be sought in factors such as organization, competence, authority, and methods. The book presents the three levels of the child protection system, how filtering from reporting to intervention takes place, the professional level, and outcomes in social practice. In the third part of the book, suggestions for changes based on problem analysis are presented.
