Childhood Abused
Protecting Children Against Torture, Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment and Punishment. Routledge Revivals
Synopsis
First published in 1998, this book seeks to consider the application of international human rights standards to situations where children are at risk of torture and other forms of ill-treatment. Each of the contributors authoritatively examines torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and punishment from the perspective of their own discipline and experience. In exploring the issues, Childhood Abused, also helps to raise their profile, as invisibility, ignorance and secrecy contribute to the continuation of such practices. The subject is harrowing and complex, Childhood Abused, needs to be read so that we are better able to prevent and protect children against such abhorrent and prohibited forms of ill-treatment.

What Reviewers Are Saying
'...encouraging to see this effort to deal with the issue in a professional and thorough manner...commendable in having been able to collect a comprehensive array of articles from an impressive panel of writers...clearly written by experts in their field, they convey their material in an easily readable manner...this is an important book...' Torture '...this is a multi-disciplinary collection and covers a wide range of material...a specialist work, but many general implications can be drawn from the content and from the reflections of the writers.'
