Concepts of who and what children are and what childhood consists
of have changed over time. Our historical and contemporary notions
of childhood also change according to the context of the
interaction between the child and the state. This book is concerned
with various ideas of what childhood consists of where the child is
involved with the legal system. An identification of legal concepts
of childhood can offer many insights into our treatment of
children,the capacities which we expect them (possibly unfairly) to
possess and the extent of any protection which they deserve or can
expect from those charged with the responsibility for their
welfare. Each essay in this collection focuses on a particular
legal discipline which centrally involves children whether as
litigants, victims or perpetrators of crimes, owners of property,
recipients of welfare services etc. The object of the analysis is
to assess how children are regarded by lawyers in each discipline;
for example, as objects of concern, requiring protection; as
autonomous possessors of rights; as lacking in moral consciousness
or full mental capacity; or as fully aware of and accountable for
their actions. In order to make comparisons with notions of
childhood in other contexts, the substantive part of the book will
also include essays on the perspectives on childhood at the core of
other disciplines including sociology, psychology, philosophy and
literature.
