Perspectives in Child Care Policy

Exploring the complex intersection of child care law and state intervention, this book delves into the contentious issues surrounding children's rights compared to adults. It raises critical questions about the state's role in protecting children, particularly in light of high-profile abuse cases that prompted significant legal reforms, including the 1989 Children Act. The text provides a thoughtful examination of the emotional and ethical dimensions of child protection policies and the ongoing debates that shape them.
