Children, while being the most victimised group in society, rarely
become a topic of sociological research, neither as victims nor as
perpetrators. The sociological discussion on power and violence
happens beyond generation as an important dimension of social
structure, and in many respects also beyond gender aspects that are
inseparably linked to generational violence. This is a severe
omission when the extent of violence in a society needs to be
understood, as well as the structures and processes perpetuating
violence or opposing its abolition. It is also a serious obstacle
when understanding the position of children and exploring the
social meaning of childhood. This volume addresses this blind spot
in sociology. It does so by mapping the ways that children and
young people are considered victims or perpetrators by their
societies and consequently the ways that their societies react. The
chapters analyse a variety of phenomena in different countries of
the Global North and South. All of these phenomena may be
considered to include acts of violence toward children and
adolescents, or those committed by them. Thus, violence is
addressed as one of the major building blocks of the scope and
qualities of children's agency, limiting the social recognition of
their rights as members of their respective societies. With a
global reach and cutting-edge research, this book will prove an
invaluable text for researchers and leaders in the fields of
comparative childhood research and sociology of violence alike.
