520 # # |a The Children s Court is one of society s most important social institutions. At the same time, it is steeped in controversy.�This is in large measure due to the persistence and complexity of the problems with which it deals, namely, juvenile crime and child abuse and neglect. Despite the importance of the Children s Court as a means of holding young people accountable for their anti-social behaviour and parents for the care of their children, it has not been the subject of close study.�Certainly it has not been previously studied nationally. This edited collection, is based on the findings of study that spanned the six States and two Territories of Australia.�The study sought to examine the current challenges faced by the Children s Court and to identify desirable and feasible directions for reform in each State and Territory.�A further unique feature of this study is that it canvassed the views of judges and magistrates who preside over this court.
