American Humane Association’s greatest asset is its excellent thought
leadership guiding our institution. Since 1877 we have been at the forefront of every major advance in the protection of children and animals from cruelty, abuse and neglect and this all due to our world-renowned subject matter experts sharing their insight.
One such individual is Dr. John Fluke, our Vice President of the Child Protection Research Center. He has worked for more than 30 years analyzing child welfare systems worldwide and providing valuable reflection on ways in which countries can reform their practices in the name of preventing child abuse. Dr. Fluke has been a featured speaker at conferences around the globe and his research has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals.
In this month’s issue of the medical journal The Lancet, Dr. Fluke and a team of researchers published their findings on a study of the child welfare services in six developed countries. Their research indicates that since the inception of modern children services in the 1970s there has not been a marked decrease in the number of reported instances of child maltreatment.
Congratulations to Dr. Fluke on his accomplishments. Most importantly, we thank him for his contribution to protecting our most precious assets — our children.
