Children - Rights and Childhood (Hardcover, 3rd edition)

Children: Rights and Childhood is widely regarded as the rst book to offer a detailed philosophical examination of children s rights. David Archard provides a clear and accessible introduction to a topic that has assumed increasing relevance since the book s rst publication. Divided clearly into three parts, it covers key topics such as:

• John Locke s writings on children
• Philippe Aries s Centuries of Childhood
• children s moral and legal rights
• a child s right to vote and to sexual choice
• parental rights to privacy and autonomy
• de ning and understanding child abuse.

The third edition has been fully revised and updated throughout with a new chapter providing an in-depth analysis of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and Part II has been restructured to move the reader from general theoretical considerations of children s rights through to practical issues. This volume is ideal reading for advanced studies across Philosophy, Social Work, Law, Childhood Studies, Politics, and Social Policy."
