Published in 1996, this book advocates and persuasively exemplifies
a qualitative sociology of childhood, spoken repeatedly through
children's voices. After a long period of dormancy, interest in the
sociology of childhood became a focus of attention and scholarly
interest. Developments in practice by professionals working and
learning in the fields of welfare, education, and youth and
community studies have been paralleled by the emergence of
specialist courses within sociology degrees. Yet the challenges
raised by the sociology of childhood remain marginalised within the
social sciences more generally. A Case of Neglect? provides an
accessible reader and review of the field. Heard wherever possible
through children's and young people's voices, it provides a
penetrating insight into their understandings and experiences of
their own and adults' worlds. It also provides a readable and
absorbing review of qualitative applications in the sociology of
childhood, and a counter to the common reliance on evidence derived
from quantitative approaches. The fieldwork applications range
across the often hidden worlds of children's and young people's
involvement in prostitution, their experience of abuse, black
children's experiences of social services, children's school
cultures, naturist children and childlessness. Always arresting and
sometimes poignant, A Case of Neglect? works towards a sociology
which is both of and for childhood. This book was originally
published as part of the Cardiff Papers in Qualitative Research
series edited by Paul Atkinson, Sara Delamont and Amanda Coffey.
The series publishes original sociological research that reflects
the tradition of qualitative and ethnographic inquiry developed at
Cardiff. The series includes monographs reporting on empirical
research, edited collections focussing on particular themes, and
texts discussing methodological developments and issues.
