Child Victimisation in Global Context: Exploring Criminological and Socio-Legal Perspectives
Child Victimisation in Global Context: Exploring Criminological and Socio-Legal Perspectives
This review report aims to act as a discussion paper, by offering a critical overview of the established themes and emergent debates relating to the abuse and victimisation of children. Key areas of global concern are highlighted and illustrated with detailed case studies of important developments; including; child abuse, child poverty, child exploitation, child prostitution, child imprisonment, child rights, alongside legal and policy responses. The foundation of this paper will be the ‘place’ of the child in the context of current victimology and social justice discourses. Broadly, the text will explore the social, cultural, and political context of child victimisation and assess both contemporary and comparative research and policy.
