This book reviews broad social changes affecting youth development
and the inconsistency of the legal system in updating its approach
to adolescents' rights. Legal experts examine current adolescent
protections and offer research-based proposals for revising laws
that underserve or criminalize youth under the rubric of
protection. Focusing on the key areas of technology and media,
education, and personal relationships, chapters discuss legal
responses to a range of challenges impacting young people,
including sexual exploitation, the right to privacy, military
family issues, and the school-to-prison pipeline. The book's
nuanced concept of legal protection credits youth with greater
competence than currently afforded, in hope that adolescents can
take more ownership of their evolving lives in a rapidly changing
society. Topics featured in this volume include: How to balance
freedom of expression with adolescents' right to data protection.
The sexualization of media and its effects on youth attitudes and
behaviors. The rising phenomenon of teenage sexting. Protecting
students' sexual identity in private schools. Youth sex and labor
trafficking and possible solutions to alleviate the widespread
crime. Adolescents, Rapid Social Change, and the Law is a must-have
resource for researchers and professors, clinicians and related
professionals as well as graduate students in developmental
psychology, family studies, public health, educational policy and
politics, and social policy.
