本章承认在儿童保护方面取得的成功以及需要通过制定公共卫生办法加以解决的弱点和局限性。儿童保护干预框架被认为没有很好地实现其所主张的目标。探讨了全球视角和历史发展，包括地球仪各地方法之间的相似性和差异。我们探讨了当代系统所经历的困难，如：体制和系统的过程和反应;处理贫困和忽视;与法定干预措施相关的耻辱;虐待和忽视儿童对儿童，家庭和社区的负面影响;不断增加的系统成本;不断变化的儿童和虐待的社会结构;评估系统结果和功效的挑战;和儿童保护方面的改革进程。本章对儿童保护方法的哲学基础提出质疑，并主张通过促进早期干预和预防战略的公共卫生方法对其进行改革。
This chapter acknowledges the successes in child protection as well as the weaknesses and limitations that need to be addressed through the development of public health approaches . The child protection intervention framework is problematized as not delivering well enough the aims it has espoused. Global perspectives and historical developments are explored, including the similarities and differences found among approaches around the globe. We explore the difficulties experienced by contemporary systems such as: institutional and system processes and responses; dealing with poverty and neglect; the stigma associated with statutory interventions; the negative impacts of child abuse and neglect upon children, families and communities; the increasing system costs; the changing social constructions of childhood and maltreatment; the challenges of evaluating systemic outcomes and efficacy; and reform processes in child protection. This chapter challenges the philosophical underpinnings of child protection approaches and argues for reform of them through public health approaches that promote earlier intervention and prevention strategies.
