Book Synopsis Violence Against Vulnerable Groups by : Hilary Brown
Book excerpt: The abuse and intimidation of vulnerable groups including children, people with disabilities and older people, is a common occurrence, whether it takes place in family homes, residential facilities or public places. This publication explores the roots of violence against these groups and reviews the work of the Council of Europe to address this issue. It develops a social model of vulnerability, reviews current research, and analyses a range of preventive strategies, clarifying the mandate which governments and mainstream agencies hold in relation to vulnerable citizens.
