Description

Violations of Trust: How Social and Welfare Institutions Fail Children and Young People provides a deep examination of systemic institutional abuse. While public attention often focuses on dramatic or episodic events, this book shifts the focus toward the more routinized and systemic nature of abuse within western nations. Drawing on government enquiries, research studies, and media reports, this work highlights the widespread sexual, physical, and emotional abuse experienced by vulnerable children and young people. It serves as a vital resource for understanding how social and welfare systems can fail those they are meant to protect. This text is essential for those studying the sociological and anthropological aspects of institutional failures and the protection of vulnerable populations.

Uses evidence from government enquiries, research studies, and media reports to document findings.

Analyzes the widespread nature of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse within social structures.

Provides a scholarly look at how welfare and social institutions fail vulnerable populations.
