“…Empirical evidence demonstrates that community- and neighborhood-based prevention methods are effective at reducing a variety of harms to children, including serious physical abuse and AHT. Health care providers were early advocates for identifying and responding to child abuse and neglect through prevention strategies delivered in health care settings (Palusci 2017). These interventions tend to begin at birth and are provided in community and medical settings rather than by child welfare systems, which can be stigmatizing (Helfer 1987; Dias et al 2005; Showers 2001; Merritt, this volume; Molnar et al 2016; van Dijken, Stams, and de Winter 2016; Muñoz, Olmos, and García 2018).…”

“…Supports for children and families in the United States are, generally speaking, carried out through community service programming and through the criminal and legal systems. Child maltreatment, though, is seen as a criminal or legal issue and is addressed primarily by the child welfare system and in the courts (Dias, Mooren, and Kleber 2018; Krugman 1995; Palusci 2017; U.S. Advisory Board on Child Abuse and Neglect 1991, 1993).…”

This article reviews and analyzes extant literature on the prevention of child maltreatment. We give an overview of protective factors that research finds to be efficacious in maltreatment prevention and pay particular attention to research that shows how health-based models and community-based models can leverage family and community strengths to that end. We go on to offer recommendations for potential future prevention programming, including an approach with untapped potential—the Prevention Zones framework. Finally, we discuss policy considerations and implications specific to the goal of increasing programming and services that leverage family and community strengths.

“…The last great pandemic and the horrors of world wars and the Great Depression were followed by the recognition and response to child abuse and neglect in the U.S. (Palusci, 2017). Perhaps this pandemic offers similar opportunities to better understand and address these adversities (Roubinov et al, 2020).…”

“…Child maltreatment begins in our communities as a physical, mental, and public health problem. Even though services for children in the United States are rooted in both supportive services and in criminal and social justice systems (Palusci 2017), they have become a social and legal issue addressed primarily by CPS and the courts Krugman 1995;U.S. Advisory Board on Child Abuse andNeglect 1991, 1993).…”

In searching for a "disruptive" new paradigm to prevent child abuse, we are drawn to an older approach with unfulfilled promise. In 1993, the United States Advisory Board on Child Abuse and Neglect published their report Neighbors Helping Neighbors: A New National Strategy for the Protection of Children. The top priority recommendation of the Board was to develop programs that facilitated the development and safety of neighborhoods by establishing Prevention Zones to improve social and physical environments with high rates of child maltreatment. This paper explores how Prevention Zones might be re-imagined today, integrated with services like home-visiting and medical homes, and applied to serious child maltreatment such as abusive head trauma.
