Documents the efforts of the William Penn Foundation in Philadelphia and its Child Abuse Prevention initiative. This initiative was innovative in two important respects: orginal participants received funding for almost ten years, providing a unique opportunity to examine the evolution of prevention programmes beyond the typical 2-to 3-year funding cycles of most demonstration programmes. And an evaluation team was funded from the outset to ensure accurate documentation of both the implementation process and service outcomes. Offers an important reservoir of new knowledge on how best to implement and assess child abuse prevention efforts in urban communities.
