Moral Agendas For Children's Welfare Reviews

'In this rich and stimulating collection Michael King has suceeded in bringing together scholars from diverse intellectual backgrounds to interrogate a range of social and institutional practices and beliefs impacting on children today ... The book raises some fascinating questions, permits a re-evaluation of the history and presence of child abuse and the debates surrounding the welfare of children ... it succeeds in focusing our attention on some neglected questions and does constitute a cautious beginning to the process of rethinking a complex series of issues centring on children, family and community, and state power.' - - Child and Family Law Quarterly
