Description of
Advancing Children s Rights in Detention: A Model for International Reform
1529213215 pdf The UN Global Study on Children Deprived of Liberty detailed many childrens poor experiences in detention, highlighting the urgent need for reform. Applying a child-centred model of detention that fulfils the rights of the child under the five themes of provision, protection, participation, preparation and partnership, this original book illustrates how reform can happen. Drawing on Irelands experience of transforming law, policy and practice, and combining theory with real-life experiences, this compelling book demonstrates how childrens rights can be implemented in detention. This important case study of reform presents a powerful argument for a progressive, rights-based approach to child detention. Worthy of international application, the book shares practical insights into how theory can be translated into practice.
