Anchored in a multidisciplinary approach, the book brings together insights from law, social work, psychology, education, and public policy to examine how various systems interact in India in addressing the issues related to protection of children from abuse, neglect, trafficking, and exploitation. Divided into four broad themes of child protection, child rights, vulnerable children, and offences against children, this book brings together the work of academics and practitioners across different fields who argue for the importance of analysing the effectiveness of the laws and policies formulated for children and finding ways to address the underlying issues that are acting as a hindrance in achieving children's welfare and wellbeing. Intended for researchers, academicians, legal professionals, social workers, policymakers, child rights activists, and students engaged in child welfare and protection studies, Child Protection: Assessing Multi-disciplinary Response Mechanisms in the Indian Perspective aims to foster a rights-based and child-centric approach, encouraging collaboration across disciplines and sectors.
