Textbook of Human Development A Lifespan Development Approach
The first report from a study of high schools.
Sociologists and psychologists examine the most critical elements in adolescent development
From where they live and which school they attend to whether they may work, children's decisions are controlled by parents and guardians. Advocates of equal rights for children have, however, offered both empirical evidence and ethical arguments against the popular assumption that children are incompetent to exercise the same freedoms as adults. Laura M. Purdy here challenges both aspects of the case for children's liberation, rejecting the conclusion that in democratic societies legal distinctions between children and adults should be eliminated.
Includes subject section, name section, and 1968-1970, technical reports.
