Sarri (Contributions by), Jeffrey J. Shook (Contributions by), Melvin Sotelo (Contributions by) Language: English Subtitle: Progress and Challenges for Children Worldwide ISBN-10: 0742529886 Description: Children's human rights are regularly violated around the world. We hear about graphic examples including child soldiers, child prostitutes, and children sold into slavery, but hungry, sick, and orphaned children are equally at risk and more prevalent. In the United States, children suffer similar abuses, but some are unique to the U.S. justice system. Unlike most of the rest of the world, the U.S. is a well-developed western nation in which juvenile offenders can be tried as adults and sentenced to death. This book brings together a wide array of original essays from a variety of academic and practitioner perspectives on human rights and the status of children. The details are disturbing; the message, powerful: We must vigorously extend the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to the most vulnerable humans of all—the children of the world, starting at home in the United States.
