Persecutory strategies in child protection investigations

• The concept of persecutory strategy refers to patterns of thinking and acting by social welfare offices towards parents and children. This report summarizes fourteen case studies. Approximately 10-100 strategies were found in each case. Some strategies were recurrent in numerous or all cases. Four groups of operative persecutory strategies were found and the included strategies are specified. A group of underlying meta-strategies that seem to regulate the operative strategies is suggested and clarified.
