[Jimi Gilroy]

Classic book to help social workers as well as anyone else understand the complicated issues around reporting and effects of abuse. Graphic and strightforward about the kind of things that humans do to eachother.

[Natalie]

A lot of interesting information, very graphic at points with photos and descriptions, things I will not ever forget

It describes the history and current patterns of child abuse. Everyone should read it.
