Author Description

This book is addressed at those studying the law relating to children on LLB or joint degrees with law as a major component. It seeks to provide sufficiently comprehensive coverage of the major components of a child law syllabus. The law has been radically reformed as a result of the Children Act 1989 and the working of the Act and its attendant case law figures prominently in the book. The text also focuses on other areas of child law which are currently under review, and an updated analysis of the law relating to child abduction is included.
