Children and Society

This short to medium haul airliner designed for European operations began its life as the Hunting Percival H-107 before the company was swallowed by the nationalized British Aircraft Corporation (BAC). Fist flown in 1963, the BAC 111 soon began to sell worldwide when it earned recognition for its ruggedness and reliability. This illustrated history of the design, development, and operational use of this often-overlooked but important little airliner includes a special eight-page color section.

This book is an examination of recent developments in the areas of youth justice and child protection. It investigates how well young people and the societies in which they live are served by judicial and service systems. Consideration is given to those in care - in young offenders' institutions, foster families and residential homes - as well as those living with their families. A broad range of international experts discuss the largely segregated youth justice and children's legal and service systems in England and Wales, other parts of Western Europe and the US, and compare these with Scotland's integrated system. The implications of these arrangements are considered for the rights of children and parents on the one hand and society on the other. The contributors also provide insights into the rationale for current and proposed policies, as well as the efficacy of different systems. This book will be an important reference for policy-makers, social workers, lawyers, magistrates and equivalent decision makers, health professionals, carers, and all those working in youth justice and child protection. It is highly relevant for academics and students interested in children, citizenship, youth crime, child welfare and state-family relations.
