Sharland, E. (1999). Justice for children? Child

protection and the crimino-legal process. Child & Family Social Work, 4(4), 303-313. Retrieved December 26, 2002, from Academic Search Premier: http://search.epnet.com/direct.asp?an=5302094&db=aph Note: This paper draws upon primary and secondary research findings to explore the appropriateness and effectiveness of current forensically led responses to child abuse. In particular, it questions the adequacy of existing operational constructs of justice in child protection, arguing the case for a far more comprehensive notion of 'justice for children' than presently prevails.
