This book ​presents an original synthesis of the leading
international research on children in conflict with the law,
providing an evidence base for a rights-based justice system.
Informed by international children’s rights standards, this book
presents relevant research findings in a clear, succinct and
accessible manner, identifying the key evidence underpinning three
rights-based themes of Prevention, Diversion and Justice, and
Reintegration. This book is the first analysis to map leading
inter-disciplinary research against the international children’s
rights framework in relation to children and the justice system. In
this way, it provides a unique evidence base for the implementation
of children’s rights in youth justice and will support all those
seeking to study, advocate or implement progressive approaches to
children in conflict with the law.  Â

Our orders were to march to the coast and board ships. In doing so
we marched past a barracks of WAC's. They sang "We Don't Want Any
Bacon, All We Want Is A Piece Of The Rhine." After being wounded at
the Battle of St. Lo, France, I asked the nurse what we were to do
if the First Aid Station was bombed in the night. She said, "Don't
worry, there is a big white cross on top of the tent. They won't
bomb us." I asked why she wore a steel helmet and what were the
jagged holes in the tent wall from? She said, "Oh shut up." The
following day a C-47 Flying Boxcar loaded the wounded. The pilot
said, "Leave your shoes and steel helmets behind or we'll be
overloaded." I said, "I'll leave my pants if that would help."
Choosing to touch lightly on the horrors of war, Alfred Beard's
true story is filled with interesting characters and humorous
details of a soldiers everyday life. At Dawn takes you from Basic
Training to Normandy and the Battle of St. Lo where, out of 360
men, 320 were killed or wounded. All in 48 hours time.
