After a general discussion of the social construction of childhood, the book is structured around three examples of the way the image of the child is played out in society:\n\nthe history of childhood from medieval times through the enlightenment 'discovery' of childhood to the present\n\nthe mythology and reality of child abuse and society's response to it\n\nthe 'death' of childhood in cases such as the James Bulger murder in which the child itself becomes the perpetrator of evil.\n\nPart of the highly successful Key Ideas series, this book gives students a concise, provocative insight into some of the controlling concepts of our culture.
