Description

Children's Law in Australia is a new title by Karen Konte that explores the many aspects of our Australian legal system as it applies specifically to children. The issues covered in this text are developing and unfolding regularly, especially innovations in the criminal justice system and the on-going controversies surrounding ‘Doli Incapax’ and whether Australia has fallen behind other countries in our recognition and adoption of various children’s law issues.

Commencing with Australia’s obligations on the international stage in relation to children, the book reviews the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the way this Convention has been adopted in Australia to form the springboard for many other legal considerations as they apply to children.

The book looks into aspects of criminal law as it applies to children including the youth justice system and the implementation of various initiatives within this system including the specialist courts for juvenile indigenous offenders. Controversial issues regarding children in detention and the presumption of ‘Doli incapax’, as well as international standards and practices regarding children and the criminal law system are also discussed.
