Although the Government announced in 1988 that child abuse should receive priority in the criminal justice system, this is the first attempt to monitor the effectiveness of the "speedy progress" policy. This book provides a step-by-step guide to the handling of child abuse cases as they progress through the hands of the police, Crown Prosectution Service and the courts, and examines how the criminal justice system takes account of the child's interests.
