Children Social Science and the Law

"This is one of the most comprehensive child policy books I've seen. It is a book I will use in my work, and one I think would be useful to students in a wide variety of fields." Nancy Hall, Yale University

Children, Social Science, and the Law integrates social science research, social policy, and legal analysis related to children and the law. It provides the most cutting-edge information available on topics such as child abuse, children's eyewitness testimony, divorce and custody, juvenile crime, and children's rights. The volume is an important resource for researchers, attorneys, judges, policy makers, legislators, and mental health, social service, and police professionals. The book will also be of interest to those in related disciplines, and can easily serve as a text for undergraduate and graduate courses.
