Children: Rights and Childhood is widely regarded as the first book to offer a detailed philosophical examination of childrens rights. David Archard provides a clear and accessible introduction to a topic that has assumed increasing relevance since the books first publication. Divided clearly into three parts, it covers key topics such as: * John Lockes writings on children * Philippe Ariess Centuries of Childhood * childrens moral and legal rights * a childs right to vote and to sexual choice * parental rights to privacy and autonomy * defining and understanding child abuse. The third edition has been fully revised and updated throughout with a new chapter providing an in-depth analysis of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and Part 2 has been restructured to move the reader from general theoretical considerations of childrens rights through to practical issues. This volume is ideal reading for advanced studies across Philosophy, Social Work, Law, Childhood Studies, Politics, and Social Policy.
