This first volume in a new Springer series on the subject marks the 50 th anniversary of Kempe's epoch-making article on 'The Battered-Child Syndrome' and assesses the current state of the field in the context of the contribution of Kempe and his collaborators.

The book series, Child Maltreatment: Contemporary Issues in Research and Policy. will consist of a state of the art handbook (to be revised every five years) and two to three volumes per year. The first volume in this series is a legacy to C. Henry Kempe. This is a timely publication because 2012 marks 50 years after the appearance of the foundational article by C. Henry Kempe and his colleagues, The Battered-Child Syndrome. This volume capitalizes on this 50 year anniversary to stand back and assess the field from the perspective that Dr. Kempe's early contributions and ideas are still being played out in practice and policy today. The volume will be released at the next ISPCAN meeting, also in 2012.
