This title considers the way we approach violence and safeguarding
in childhood, exploring the victimization of children as well as
children who use violence towards others. "Rethinking Children,
Violence and Safeguarding" explores the victimization of children
as well as children who use violence towards others and presents an
overview of key developments in research, policy and practice on
children and violence in the context of the recent major shift in
thinking from 'child protection' towards 'safeguarding' and
evidencing better outcomes. The gaps between rhetoric and practice
are considered and Lorraine Radford argues that the way we 'think'
about children and violence has had a profound impact on actions
against the abuse of children and children who commit violence.
Examples of research, reflections on research and key points and
guidance on further reading make this a really accessible text.
"Rethinking Children, Violence and Safeguarding" is essential
reading for those studying childhood and undergraduate and graduate
level, and will be of great interest to those working with children
in any field. Is childhood changing? What effects are new ideas
about childhood having on children's lives? How are children's
voices and opinions affecting the services they use? Contemporary
debates on the nature of childhood, attitudes towards children, the
experiences of children and the emergence of a child rights agenda
are resulting in a re-examination of theory, practice and research
in many fields. "New Childhoods" offers a re-appraisal of the
meaning of childhood - a series of texts that are succinct,
accessible and engaging in introducing undergraduates to key areas
of Childhood Studies, Education Studies and Sociology, and in
disseminating new thinking, research, scholarship and practices.
Books in this series will also be of interest to those who are
preparing to work with children, such as teachers, early years
practitioners, youth workers, health workers and psychologists. Key
features include: boxed summaries of research which engage the
reader in analysis; case studies to explore each issue in context;
tasks to develop critical thinking; and pointers on further
reading. Each volume promotes a child rights perspective, and
provokes a re-examination of child-adult relationships in the
contexts of family, community and state. Insights and experiences
across fields such as sociology, philosophy and psychology are
combined to encourage an inter-disciplinary approach.
