Summary note
This volume of collected essays by many of the world's leading scholars of child welfare and law combines thorough research on a comprehensive range of legal issues salient in children's lives with the most sophisticated theoretical and policy analysis of the law, informed by the most current empirical research on child development and welfare. The book's organization follows the life of a child, more or less, chronologically from pre-birth to adolescence and, correspondingly, a sequence of ever-widening social spheres, from the womb to family to society to the world.
