This is a great topic for conversation. Rather than proposing a solution, I will propose a process for analysis: 1. research the factors that lead to child abuse; 2. determine how these factors can be robustly measured; 3. identify patterns within these measured factors that predict when and where child abuse can occur; and 4. develop the requirements necessary to implement potential solutions based on the research.
- susiecambria 5y agoThere are papers galore on the topic; it's not an under-studied topic. ACF is an example of where to look https://www.acf.hhs.gov/cb/focus-areas/child-abuse-neglect https://www.acf.hhs.gov/cb/focus-areas/child-abuse-neglect. I'd add that I have served on the District of Columbia Infant Mortality Review Committee. No lie, 9/10 of the time, the recommendations were breastfeeding, parent support, parent coaching, reducing the number of births in a family. It took YEARS before any of the recommendations were implemented. As to the use of tech, I'd suggest talking with practitioners and policy makers. For example, child advocacy centers (in the US, at least) may have some ideas or suggestions of other ways to help reduce the incidence of child abuse and neglect.
