Comparing Children, Families and Risks

Abstract

The edited book collects the plenary lectures and workshop presentation presented in the international seminar of "Comparing Children, Families and Risks" organised at the University of Tampere in November 2005. The papers address the question of how and with what implications children and families are constituted as a locus of risks. The approach is multidisciplinary and the definition of risk is broad, including different perspectives, measures and disciplines.
