The first comprehensive account of how the law and practice of
child protection in Scotland has developed from its earliest
origins to the present day, within the context of a changing world
Key Features Places the Scottish juvenile court in worldwide
perspective and explores why the juvenile court ideals remain
central to the contemporary children's hearing system in Scotland,
dealing with both child offenders and neglected and abused
children. Gives detailed analysis of the legislation and explores
the parliamentary debates surrounding Acts including the Children
Act 1908, the Adoption of Children (Scotland) Act 1930, the
Children and Young Persons (Scotland) Acts 1932 and 1937, the
Children Act 1948, the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968, the
Children (Scotland) Act 1995 and the Children and Young People
(Scotland) Act 2014 Preserves in accessible form many
long-forgotten legal and social aims, cases and secondary
legislation Kenneth Norrie traces the assumptions that underlay
child protection law at particular periods of time and identifies
the pressures for change - giving a clearer understanding of how
and why the contemporary law is designed and operates as it does.
Particular issues are traced in legislative detail, including court
processes, the changing thresholds for state intervention, the
increasing regulation of children's homes and foster care, the
developing rules on corporal punishment and the earlier practice of
compulsory emigration to the colonies of children removed from
their parents. The transformation of adoption is also covered in
comprehensive detail. In drawing out key themes and common threads,
Norrie sets contemporary developments against their historical
context and offers a fuller understanding of child protection law
in Scotland.
