Description: This book is addressed at those studying the law relating to children on LLB or joint degrees with law as a major component. It seeks to provide sufficiently comprehensive coverage of the major components of a child law syllabus. The law has been radically reformed as a result of the Children Act 1989 and the working of the Act and its attendant case law figures prominently in the book. The text also focuses on other areas of child law which are currently under review, and an updated analysis of the law relating to child abduction is included.

Description: The authors of this study emphasize the effectiveness of collectively funded public insurances as opposed to genetic information regulation within the private insurance sector. Genetics has provided tools to determine individuals' risk of future disease, which is of key interest for insurance companies in determining insurance premiums; but persons with high enough risk may remain uninsured. For this reason, genetic information has been regulated. But, regulation may not be the solution, according to the authors, and they call for the resumption of social insurance, a key element of the welfare state.
