| Summary, etc | The purpose of this thesis is to understand what the legal system can do to protect children in New Zealand from maltreatment and why legal responses to child maltreatment often appear to be ineffectual or of limited effect. The focus of the thesis is on developing an understanding of the way in which the law operates on a systemic level. The author uses the systems theories of Luhman and Teubner to argue that the law is limited in its ability to protect children from maltreatment because the legal system creates and responds to its own world, rather than the world as experienced by human beings. In relation to protecting children in New Zealand from maltreatment the author recommends that attempts to protect children need to move beyond politically expedient law reform to address the wider context of children's lives through social policy initiatives that address poverty, housing difficulties and cultural conceptions regarding the acceptability of family violence. Although advocates for children generally recognise the importance of a contextual response to child maltreatment, the conclusions of this thesis emphasise the importance of this approach. The author also recommends that consideration should therefore be given to altering the qualifications for Family Court judges to require not only legal but psychological or social work expertise and experience. |
