Otherwise, there is a risk of normalizing chronic neglect under the guise of cultural commitment. Please take a look at this important piece and pay special attention to our innovative two-stage process for searching and screening articles in systematic reviews.

Furthermore, the study challenges the uncritical acceptance of cultural norms by arguing that cultural influences on child neglect should be evaluated within the framework of child well-being and the best interests of children.

Beyond recommending the development of context-specific measures, we also raise critical questions about how child neglect should be assessed in multicultural societies such as Australia and the USA.

We also examined the disparities between these culturally rooted definitions and the tools used to measure neglectful behavior in research and child protection practice.

Additionally, the review highlights the influence of gender norms on parental responsibility, kinship lineage norms, and community responsibility for childcare as key cultural underpinnings of child neglect.

Our findings reveal that child neglect, particularly supervisory neglect, is often framed in collectivist communities as a “collective community failure.”

We screened over 100,000 research articles globally, using an innovative iterative screening technique, to uncover the cultural norms that shape how child neglect is defined across different communities.

In case we do, I put together a social work academic Starter Pack. I’m sure I’ve unintentionally omitted folks who are already here, but I’ll keep updating.
