This book argues that an identification of legal concepts of childhood can offer insights into our treatment of children, the capacities which we expect of them and the extent of any protection which they can expect from those charged with the responsibility for their welfare. Each essay focuses on a particular legal discipline which centrally involves children. The object of the analysis is to assess how children are regarded by lawyers in each discipline. In order to make comparisons the substantive part of the book will also include essays on the perspectives on childhood at the core of other disciplines including sociology, psychology, philosophy and literature. Particular subjects covered include, youth justice, tort, housing law, medical treatment, education and social security.
