Table of ContentsChapter 1 Shifting Perspectives on Children, Shifting Rights and Criminal Responsibility in Juvenile Justice; Chapter 2 Children’s Rights’ Mediation of Welfare–Justice Tensions; Chapter 3 MACRs and States’ Obligations under Regional and International Law Instruments; Chapter 4 Historical Influences on MACRs; Chapter 5 Current MACRs Worldwide and Modern Trends; Chapter 6 Practical Implications and Challenges of MACR Implementation; Chapter 7 Making MACRs Work for Children’s Rights; Chapter 101 Annex 1 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Adopted by UN General Assembly Resolution 44/25 of 20 November 1989, and entered into force 2 September 1990); Chapter 102 Annex 2 Worldwide MACR Provisions and Statutory Sources by Country;Reviews'This is the first book on children's rights which offers a complete panorama of the history as well as the approach taken by the world to the problem of the age of children's criminal responsibility. The book is a good handbook on this issue showing the reader the immense variability in the conceptions of childhood and the differences between theory and practice. It is a must for academics interested in juvenile justice and for practitioners working with children in conflict with the law.' Josine Junger-Tas, University of Utrecht, Netherlands 'This brilliantly sparkling and inclusive meditation on the pivotal but obscure question of when children become criminally culpable is required reading for all who care for child justice. Cipriani insists on the bewildering complexity of setting a minimum age of criminal responsibility which subjects children above it to penal procedures and punishment, while rooting his analysis in the practical challenges of lurching toward a coherent system of child rights.' Bernardine Dohrn, Northwestern University School of Law, USA 'Children's Rights and the Minimum Age of Criminal Responsibility is a carefully researched, well-considered and pragmatic text. It provides a comprehensive and very readable overview of worldwide approaches towards criminal responsibility and the young. I would recommend this book principally to academics and students (both under- and post-graduate) with an interest in juvenile justice systems. It is also likely that any practitioner working within the field of children's and young persons' rights would find this text a useful and an engaging read.' SCOLAG Journal 'This is a highly useful survey that advocates of change in Britain and elsewhere will be able to refer to with advantage. Now that Scotland has decided to raise its MACR from eight to 12, I anticipate Cipriani's book will frequently be referenced in England and Wales and in Ireland, both in the North and in the Republic.' British Journal of Criminology 'I am confident that it will be widely used by undergraduates and researchers on account of its extensive research...' Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law '...a well researched work on the important subjects of children's rights and the criminal responsibility of children. The book is superbly organized and clearly written, making most of the more difficult topics it discusses readily understandable and engaging.' International Law and Politics 'Overall, this is an excellent book, which will be primarily of use to anyone with a strong research interest in the MACR specifically and/or youth justice and children's rights generally.' Social and Legal Studies 'This is the first book on children's rights which offers a complete panorama of the history as well as the approach taken by the world to the problem of the age of children's criminal responsibility.
