THE BIBLIOGRAPHY IS DIVIDED INTO 16 SECTIONS: OVERVIEW, GENERAL LEGISLATION, REPORTING STATUTES, NEGLECT, SEXUAL ABUSE, LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO REPORT, CENTRAL REGISTRY, RIGHTS OF CHILDREN, RIGHTS OF PARENTS, EVIDENCE, COURT STRUCTURES, TERMINATION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS, CRIMINAL LIABILITY, MILITARY COMMUNITIES, FOREIGN COUNTRIES, AND LAW, MEDICINE, AND PSYCHOLOGY. THE ENTRIES ARE LISTED ALPHABETICALLY BY AUTHOR IN EACH SECTION, EXCEPT IN THE SECTIONS ON SPECIFIC STATE REPORTING STATUTES AND ON FOREIGN COUNTRIES, IN WHICH THEY ARE LISTED BY STATE OR COUNTRY. BECAUSE IT COVERS A WIDE RANGE OF SUBJECT AREAS, THE BIBLIOGRAPHY GIVES A BROAD UNDERSTANDING OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE LAW AND CHILD ABUSE. ALTHOUGH OF SPECIFIC USE TO ATTORNEYS, THE BIBLIOGRAPHY IS ALSO DIRECTED TO OTHER PROFESSIONALS SUCH AS DOCTORS, SOCIAL WORKERS, TEACHERS, AND OTHERS. A BRIEF GLOSSARY IS ALSO INCLUDED. NO PRICE OR AVAILABILITY INFORMATION IS PROVIDED. (MJW)
