Acculturation and mental health outcomes in adolescents from asylum seeker and labor migrant families in Israel
This study explored acculturation’s relationship with mental health, considering social support and self-efficacy as resilience factors among adolescents from migrant families. Participants were 112 adolescents in seventh to ninth grades from labor migrants’ or asylum seekers’ families attending school in Tel Aviv, Israel. They completed measures of mental health, acculturation, social support, and self-efficacy. No differences emerged between gr…
‘To say report it, well, it seems a little useless’
Online service providers (OSPs) provide a range of opportunities for individuals to engage in online child sexual exploitation, including the production and distribution of child sexual abuse material. As the failings of opaque content moderation systems have become apparent, a range of states have proposed or implemented new regulatory measures, amidst ongoing debates over the legitimacy of state intervention in online communication. This paper …
Dealing with Rejection
Dealing with RejectionRejection is one of the more unpleasant aspects of the editorial and academic publications process.Receiving negative feedback on an article can be demoralising and upsetting, particularly for the early or mid-career academic whose career progression depends on securing publications, or for those who have spent a significant amount of time developing the ideas and gathering the data presented in the piece.I (Helen), in the n…
Adults and Children in Postmodern Societies
The edited volume Adults and Children in Postmodern Societies: A Comparative Law and Multidisciplinary Handbook offers a comparative overview, and a thematic analysis, of the legal treatments of adult–child relationships. Arguing that family law no longer centred on the marriage relationship, and that heterosexual marriage not the only model available for couples to receive recognition of their union, this project looks at contemporary regulation…
Child-centred analysis of national immunisation laws – Australia as a case study
The paper uses a child-centred approach to analyse Australia’s child immunisation laws. These laws condition enrolment to early education centres on the child being fully immunised and provide financial incentives to parents, encouraging them to comply with the national immunisation protocol. The paper seeks to contribute to the debates in public health about the utility of human rights and the definition of the ‘public’ by problematising the mar…

Waiting for Children’s Rights Theory
In this article we argue that what is missing in children’s rights studies is not so much the presence of theories, but rather reflections and discussions about the normative relevance, analytical qualities and explanatory powers of the mobilised theories. We consider theorisations in children’s rights, first, on the normative level, where there is a need to continue reflecting about the moral and legal rights children have and/or should have, an…
The Child's Right to Development
This book provides a comprehensive account of how child development and the right to development of children have been understood in international children's rights law. It argues that any conceptions of childhood focussed either on children's future as adults, or on children's lives in the present, overlook the hybridity of children's lived experiences. The book therefore suggests a new conception of childhood - namely, 'hybrid childhood' - whic…
Marginalisation by the Court
This article analyses the European Court of Human Rights’ conceptualisation of children as human rights-holders, using Roma children’s access to education as a case study. It argues that the Court consistently fails to treat children as agents in their own right in cases where their rights are being compromised. Roma children, as members of an ethnic or racial minority group, suffer discrimination through their segregation from other chil- dren w…
Illusion of inclusion
This paper examines the nexus between two allegedly contesting objectives of international children’s rights law: protection and empowerment. It focuses on child labour movements as a case study to examine this tension. The paper shows that when children make demands that exceed imaginary boundaries of protection, their voices are dismissed on the basis of immaturity. Therefore, the paper argues that the failure of international children’s rights…
Developing the Right to Development
The un Convention on the Rights of the Child provides an unprecedented and comprehensive protection for the right to development of children, and more broadly, for child development. Thus far, little attention has been given in theory or in practice to the ways in which this protection should be realised. This paper suggests that the main reason for not fulfilling this promise to children is the challenges in defining “child development” as a leg…

Reconceptualising the Child’s Right to Development
The article proposes adopting the Capability Approach as a theoretical framework to analyse the child’s right to development. Currently, the child’s right to development is realised as the child’s right to become an adult. This interpretation is problematic on several grounds, primarily its usage of developmental psychology as an underlying narrative to conceptualise childhood and interpret children’s rights, and its lack of respect for children’…
