Children in Danger - The Causes and Prevention of Baby Battering

In the early 1970s 'baby battering' accounted for an estimated 700 child deaths a year in Britain. First published in 1974, the special virtue of this book was that, apart from being the first fully-researched book on the subject, the author was able to look at baby battering as an outsider, seeing the picture as a whole.
