Review Quotes: "This edited text introduces thought-provoking perspectives on institutional abuse with vulnerable populations of children and adults in Great Britian. The aim of the book is to develop an understanding of how institutional abuse can be prevented and the ways that survivors of abuse can have their needs met. The text is organized into four areas: (a) institutional abuse of children; (b) institutional abuse of adults with learning difficulties; (c) institutional abuse of adults with mental health problems; and (d) institutional abuse of older people. This text brings together an outstanding array of articles by a talented cadre of authorsthat give clarity to the interface of institutional abuse across the life course for vulnerable individuals."
