✦ Synopsis

Intervening on Processes and Outcome of Reviews

Recent theories advocating ecological and developmental perspectives on child abuse and neglect are summarized. Reviews of community prevention programmes underline the importance of focusing on processes and viewing the developing child and their family in a broad context. The conclusions of the reviews are reported. Although the reviews suggest that some programmes to prevent physical and sexual abuse and bullying are at least to some degree eective, their impact has been reduced by a failure to encompass adequately the various in¯uences that operate across dierence domains of the child's life at dierent stages of their development. *
