The paper raises questions about the solutions currently offered by the modern state and welfare bureaucracies to prevent re‐occurrence of abuse in institutions. *This paper was presented to the 4th European Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect, Abano Terme, Padova, Italy, 28‐31 March 1993 [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
