Reviews

This publication provides a useful analysis of how our legal system views children. It will be of interest to all those involved with children in the legal system. The Review Editor ChildRIGHT February 2002 The analyses presented here are accessible and, for readers who are unfamiliar with the law relating to children, they succeed in conveying some of the key shifts in thinking and policy that have taken place over the past two decades. The collection provides further evidence of the quality of the growing scholarship on children and the law. Jeremy Roche, The Open University Children and Society February 2002
