Abstract

What would it take? That was the question Geoffrey Canada found himself asking. What would it take to change the lives of poor children not one by one but in big numbers, and in a way that could be replicated nationwide? The question led him to create the Harlem Children's Zone, a ninety-seven-block laboratory in central Harlem where he is testing new and sometimes controversial ideas about poverty in America....

Abstract

Over the past decade, EU and national policy-makers alike have paid more attention to childhood poverty and children's rights. Whether this has led to better policies, and whether these policies have in turn resulted in less childhood poverty and more human dignity, remains debatable. A better understanding of both child poverty and children's rights could help.This book introduces several approaches in the field of child poverty and children's rights studies, and identifies intersections between different theoretical approaches from both domains. This is a fruitful exercise for the academic disciplines involved, for policy-makers and for anyone taking an interest in these challenging subjects.Children's rights may provide some common ground for the different perspectives on the causes of poverty. They also introduce specific process requirements, in particular the participation of the poor. At the same time, children's rights may gain from an encounter with child poverty studies, not least in grasping the complexity of child poverty and in making a realistic assessment of their own potential for addressing child poverty.This book is a collaborative project of Centrum OASeS and the UNICEF Chair in Children's Rights, both located at the University of Antwerp. The UNICEF Chair in Children's Rights is a joint initiative of UNICEF Belgium and the University of Antwerp, Faculty of Law. The Chair was established in 2007. It acts as a knowledge broker of children's rights within the academic community and between the academic community and policy and practice, through teaching, research and service to the community. More information: www.ua.ac.be/childrensrights.The more prominent research topics of the Centrum OASeS, Centre on Inequality, Poverty, Social Exclusion and the City include poverty and other forms of social exclusion, ethnic minorities, urban policy, social economy and supported employment, and social networks. Its projects reach from the very local to the European level (with participation in several Framework Programmes).

Abstract

In deze studie doen Marion van San en Arjen Leerkes verslag van een onderzoek naar de aard en de omvang van de criminaliteit onder allochtone jongeren in België. Zij baseren zich daarbij voor het eerst op landelijke politiecijfers. Op grond van gesprekken met jongeren, buurtbewoners, politieagenten en straathoekwerkers in twee oude wijken van Antwerpen en Brussel gaan de auteurs daarnaast in op de beeldvorming over allochtone jeugdcriminaliteit. Het boek levert een bijdrage aan het inzicht dat allochtone jeugdcriminaliteit niet als een eenvormig verschijnsel kan worden begrepen. Groepen allochtone jongeren blijken noch in dezelfde mate, noch op de zelfde wijze bij te dragen aan de jeugdcriminaliteit. Tegelijkertijd verklaart het boek waarom het thema van de allochtone jeugdcriminaliteit niet los kan worden gezien van de strijd tussen etnische groepen om sociale status, macht en identiteit.

Abstract

What type of cities do we want our children to grow up in? Car-dominated, noisy, polluted and devoid of nature? Or walkable, welcoming, and green? As the climate crisis and urbanisation escalate, cities urgently need to become more inclusive and sustainable. This book reveals how seeing cities through the eyes of children strengthens the case for planning and transportation policies that work for people of all ages, and for the planet. It shows how urban designers and city planners can incorporate child friendly insights and ideas into their masterplans, public spaces and streetscapes. Healthier children mean happier families, stronger communities, greener neighbourhoods, and an economy focused on the long-term. Make cities better for everyone.
