About
'From innocents to agents' is a timely analysis of the rise of children's rights in New Zealand. It examines the evolution from a nineteenth century understanding of children as 'innocents' needing protection within families, and where state involvement was minimal, to a more contemporary view of children as 'empowered agents' where the state and its agencies are primary. The author contends that a particular interpretation of international law has impacted domestic legislation and played a significant role in changing the status of children. This book is a must-read for all interested in the future of family life and the welfare of New Zealand's children.
