March 29,1999 Professionals who provide services for abused and neglected children often find themselves working with the legal system on the children's behalf. Statutes mandate how professionals respond to children whom they suspect are maltreated and specify investigative and court procedures for such cases. Through the State Statutes Project, the National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect Information enables States to improve their own laws on child abuse and neglect by providing information about other States' statutes as well as providing program and policy guidance at the State and Federal levels.
Annual updates ensure that the statutes collection is current.
Each title may be purchased separately at the prices indicated below, or as a volume. When you purchase a volume, you will receive a handsome binder designed to keep the statutes and annual updates organized and at your fingertips. In addition, State-specific information can be obtained through custom searches of the database at the Clearinghouse, conducted for a nominal fee.
