Instructions:
1.   The general goal for this term paper is for you to learn to apply concepts from the
field of child abuse and neglect to a particular case.   This is not a book report,
in which you review what happened.  It is your job to critically examine what
is  reported  in  the  book  in  terms  of  the  material  you  learn  about  during  the
semester.
2.   Select  one  from  the  above  list  of  books  to  read.    They  are  all  available  through
www.amazon.com, and almost all are available in paperback.  You should get
the  book  and  begin  reading  it  immediately,  to  get  an  overall  sense  of  the
account.    It  is  likely  that  you  will  have  to  reread  the  book  as  you  learn  more

have learned to this particular account.

from peer-

from class discussions, to complete the sections of the paper discussed below.

more of the following:
a.   causes/risk  factors  for  the  type  of  maltreatment  you  are  reading
about    –
  Possible    instances    of    neglect,    physical,    sexual    and
psychological   abuse   suffered   by   the   main   character/   writer   and
whether abuse/ neglect are terms that can be applied to the character’s/
