"Children and Young People's Worlds: Developing Frameworks for Integrated Practice" offers a range of critical perspectives on children's lives in the early 21st century at both national and international levels, with a focus on the interplay between theory and practice. Authors in several fields of childhood and youth studies apply their expertise to areas such as young people and the law, children's rights, child protection, sexuality, participation, politics and family life. Key topics illustrate important global and local contemporary issues in the study of childhood and youth and show how these impact on policy initiatives and practical interventions in children's lives. The volume is designed to provide debate and controversy and its readership will be challenged by the complexities of children's and young people's lives in which there are no easy answers. Using the voices of the children and young people themselves, each chapter promotes critical engagement with a range of perspectives about their worlds.The book combines post-graduate level theory with contemporary case studies, illustrating and analyzing the complications of children and young people's lived experiences in the UK and worldwide.
