Summary, etc This book discusses the needs, rights and welfare of children in New Zealand. It moves beyond theory-based conceptualisations of children's issues and provides an analytical framework from which to consider the measures that are needed to develop appropriate legal and social strategies that ensure safety of children. In chapter 2, "The Role of Counsel for the Child in the Family Court", Lex de Jong discusses the rights of the child in legal proceedings, where issues relating to custody, access, and guardianship are before the Family Court. In particular, it explores the role of counsel for the child. In chapter 3, "Child Maltreatment in New Zealand: Children Pay the Price", Emma Davies and Fred Seymour discuss several factors that might provide an explanation to the high levels of child abuse and neglect in New Zealand. In response to these explanations, some strategies for change are suggested, which include legislative change, increasing government expenditure on children, and improving social service delivery for families. In chapter 4, "Peace at Home - Safety and Parental Contact Arrangements for Children in the Context of Domestic Violence", Lorraine Radford explores the safety, rights and welfare of children when parents separate. A comparison of the English and New Zealand Courts is given where they have considered domestic violence in cases of care and contact. In chapter 5, "Prosecuting Child Abuse - When Reality and Stereotypes Clash", Caroline Keenan highlights the difficulties and the impacts on the child in criminal proceedings of child abuse cases. The findings of a UK Home Office study on the prosecution of child abuse in England is discussed and it is suggested that New Zealand adopt the recommendations of the report so that children are afforded better protection in cases of child abuse prosecutions. In chapter 6, "Child Homicide in New Zealand: Charges, Convictions and Sentencing", Brenda Midson canvasses the various charges and sentencing measures for those who cause death to a child. It is argued that the adoption of 'homicide by abuse', a provision that is adopted in some American states, would be a more appropriate response to New Zealand's child homicide rate. In chapter 8, "The Role of New Zealand's International Obligations in the Development of National Strategies: Investing in and Protecting the 'Whole Child'", Claire Breen considers the extent to which New Zealand is providing protection for children. The rights of the child are examined in terms of the provisions in both international and domestic law.
