The volume emphasizes that we should begin to rethink our approaches to children and the issues relating to them in various contexts in our contemporary societies. This rethinking, a gesture of cognitive and political correctness, is consequent upon our understanding on childhood issues. Topics investigated by the contributors are: childhood research, children  well-being, children  identity, childhood and social space, children as social actors, children in cyber environment, children with special problems, children  competency, children  rights, childhood politics, children and criminal justice, etc. The volume is important both for analytical and policy related reasons.
