Kinderrechte und Kindeswohl

Whereas the legal position of the child in civil law has been dealt with in detail in various works, up to now there has been no large-scale studies on the status of the child in public law. Friederike Wapler deals with this issue on the level of constitutional law considering the references to international law as well as to the law on child and youth welfare. Added to this are her thoughts on philosophy of law as well as proposals from the standpoint of legal policy.
