This book critically examines why a human rights framework would
improve the wellbeing and status of young people. It explores
children’s rights to provision, protection, and participation
from human rights and clinical sociological perspectives, and from
historical to contemporary events. It discusses how different
ideologies have shaped the way we view children and their place in
society, and how, despite the rhetoric of children's protection,
people under 18 years of age experience more poverty, violence, and
oppression than other group in society. The book points to the fact
that the USA is the only member of the United Nations not to ratify
a children’s human rights treaty; and the impact of this decision
finds US children less healthy and less safe than children in other
developed countries. It shows how a rights-respecting framework
could be created to improve the lives of our youngest citizens –
and the future of democracy. Authored by a renowned clinical
sociologist and international human rights scholar, this book is of
interest to researchers, students, social workers and policymakers
working in the area of children's wellbeing and human
rights.Â
