- The Future of Child Protection
- Jane Waldfogel
- Recent headline cases of child abuse have led to a crisis of confidence in the current child protective services (CPS). The public is right to be concerned, shows Jane Waldfogel, but many perceptions of the CPS system and the problems it is designed to alleviate are inaccurate. This book goes beyond the headlines, using historical, comparative, and specific case data to formulate a new approach to protecting children.

- What's Wrong with Children's Rights
- Martin Guggenheim
- From foster care to adoption to visitation rights and beyond, Guggenheim offers a trenchant analysis of the most significant debates in the children's rights movement, particularly those that treat children's interests as antagonistic to those of their parents. Guggenheim argues that "children's rights" can serve as a screen for the interests of adults, who may have more to gain than the children for whom they claim to speak.
