Reviews

Praise for previous editions: 'An exhaustive and meticulously comprehensive examination of children's rights from both a moral and a legal perspective...a fine basic text, and a worthwhile introduction to the complex issue of children's rights.' Metapsychology 'This is an intellectually stimulating and sometimes controversial philosophical analysis of children and their rights of both general and professional interest.' - Journal of the Institute of Health Education 'The argument is clear, it is well reasoned and balanced ... this is a thought-provoking text and as such a highly recommendable read. Its audience could range from policy-makers to sixth-formers.' - Children & Society
