Description and Table of Contents

Description

This volume examines, from a number of different perspectives, the implications of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, for justice for children. The contributors are drawn from a cross-section of the community of individuals with an interest in or responsibility for children: academics, practitioners, policy makers and researchers. It therefore blends the academic with the practical and has immediate relevance for those researchers, lawyers, academics, fieldworkers and policy makers whose concern is children's rights. Justice for Children is based on proceedings of the International Conference on Justice for Children, held in Glasgow, September 1992
