An important characteristic of abuse-prone families has been found to be isolation from supportive ties. This volume encourages programmes and policies to incorporate social support into abuse prevention. The author delineates the challenges and strategies involved in promoting social support; describes natural and formal social networks; analyzes the social isolation experienced by at-risk families; evaluates the effectiveness of various interventions, such as home visit programmes; and addresses the practical challenges of integrating research, policy and practice.

Available from: Buy.com USA and Buy.com CA

Price: USD 23.7

Overview
Why this book? Why now? In the child support system, there has been a love affair with stereotyping men as abad guysa and letting women take on the role of victims. More often than not, the real victims are men. Men are far more left out in the cold with no justice in sight. Men are ordered to be financially responsible for children that are not theirs. Many are stripped of their basic rights and made to feel helpless. aIf you give a man a fish, he can eat for a day. If you teach him how to fish, he can eat for a lifetime.a Child Support 101 was written with all men in mind to help them realize they do not have to be blindsided by the child support laws. What’’s more important is to show men how to work within a system that is forever changing.
