Reviews

Freeman's own contribution in which he articulates an argument for a 'sociology of children's right';...is forward looking and persuasive...the paper by John Tobin. ..sets out the three models of childhood that have shaped current legal thinking. This is, by far, the most thorough presentation of the three models and the implications for the Courts of adopting the rights based model that I have had the benefit of reading. Another Australian contribution is from Ben Matthews...it is an invaluable source of information for anyone interested in the effectiveness, or otherwise, of mandatory reporting laws. Dr Frank Ainsworth, Journal of Children Australia
