This book reviews broad social changes affecting youth
development and the inconsistency of the legal system in updating
its approach to adolescents’ rights. Legal experts examine
current adolescent protections and offer research-based proposals
for revising laws that underserve or criminalize youth under the
rubric of protection. Focusing on the key areas of technology and
media, education, and personal relationships, chapters discuss
legal responses to a range of challenges impacting young people,
including sexual exploitation, the right to privacy, military
family issues, and the school-to-prison pipeline. The book’s
nuanced concept of legal protection credits youth with greater
competence than currently afforded, in hope that adolescents can
take more ownership of their evolving lives in a rapidly changing
society.
