The aim of this book is to examine recent perspectives on the law as a social institution capable of "thinking" - that is, of generating knowledge about children, what they are, who should look after them, and above all what is good or bad for them. It goes on to look at how the way the law "thinks" about children, often conflicts with the "thoughts" of other social institutions. Children in divorce cases and as offenders are discussed.
