Reviews

'This is a highly contemporary presentation of children's rights, focusing on the issues facing children today. Thoughtful, insightful and compassionate, this is now the leading book on children's rights in England and Wales. An outstanding achievement.' Jonathan Herring, Professor of Law, University of Oxford 'The fourth edition of Children's Rights and the Developing Law is certain to maintain this book's long held and deserved reputation as the leading scholarly text in the UK on children's rights. The book presents a meticulous analysis of international and domestic law, critically exploring, with reference to theory and research, law's engagement with children's rights across a wide range of issues. Essential reading for anyone with an interest in children's rights.' Stephen Gilmore, Professor of Family Law, University of Cambridge
