Example text
In Britain, changing perceptions of the term childhood can be identified through analysing legal representations of children over the last three hundred years (Pinchbeck and Hewitt 1969; Parton 1985). Before this time, children were not sufficiently demarcated from adults for childhood to be an identifiable separate status; they were seen as working members of the community as soon as they were physically independent of their mother (Pinchbeck and Hewitt 1969). In the sixteenth century, the Tudor Poor Law included the care of abandoned children, looking after them for their first six years then sending them to public schools if they showed intellectual promise or to places of work to train in a trade.
The Children Act (1989) itself is not without its critics. According to Lyon and Parton (1995), whilst it appears to advance children’s rights and to provide more and new opportunities for developing the autonomy of children and young people, it does so in only a very qualified way. They go on to say: Rather than subjects in their own right, children have become reconstituted as legal – as opposed to welfare – objects for the purpose of governing families at a distance. (Lyon and Parton 1995: 53) This new ‘legal child’ is one of several different discursive creations that are used to give children meaning within society.
The origins of sexual exploitation as an issue in sport In the history of every social movement there is a moment when its core issue comes to public prominence. A landmark in the environmental movement, for example, was the nuclear accident at Chernobyl; a turning point in the campaign for food safety came with the post-BSE (infection) beef ban in Europe; and action for improved rail safety in Britain was given added impetus by the heavy death toll of the Paddington rail crash in 1999. In all cases, policy and practice changed after a large scale, publicly visible event.
