CAN reflections on 20 years of searching
Article Abstract:
Child abuse prevention has shown definite progress between 1975 and 1995. The prospects for child abuse prevention are encouraging as evidenced by a shift in attitudes, beliefs and behavior. The campaign against hitting children is the initial step towards the formation of a cultural foundation for the eradication of assault against children. Hopefully, within the next 20 years, child abuse will be a thing of the past.
