Synopsis

Child Rights & Remedies provides a comprehensive rights-based analysis of how the U.S. legal system, in
both its legal and political dimensions, is affecting American children. It examines the barriers to child-
sensitive public policy, and the true legal status of children with regard to poverty, education, health, special
needs, child care, child abuse, juvenile crime and detention, reproductive rights, custody and civil liberties.
Backing up an extensive legal reference to over 190 leading cases with probing commentaries and the most
recent statistics reflecting the socio-economic circumstances of children, Child Rights & Remedies serves as
a unique tool for all who are concerned about the well-being of the nation's children, and seek politico-legal
means to improve it.
