BIBLIOGRAPHY: VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN

 

This bibliography is intended to identify existing research that is relevant to the UN Study on Violence Against Children. It particularly seeks to identify material produced by NGOs based on their work. It is a work in progress and additions are actively sought.

 

Material will be organized according to the areas identified by the Committee on the Rights of the Child for examination by the study, i.e.

1)      Violence in the family and home;

2)      Violence in schools;

3)      Violence in care or residential institutions (state and private);

4)      Violence in work situations;

5)      Violence in the streets;

6)      Violence in detention facilities and prisons;

7)      Violence by police;

8)      Capital punishment;

9)      General (this category is added for work related more generally to violence against children).

 

Material should be recent, preferably from within the past five years.

 

To submit material for the bibliography, please send an e-mail to sommerd@hrw.org. with the following information:

 

1)      Information about each resource(s), according to the following format: 

 

Author/organization, title, date, type of publication (e.g. report, submission to the Committee on the Right of the Child, etc), web address (if available), source (for obtaining hard copies)

 

For example:

Human Rights Watch, Scared at School: Sexual Violence Against Girls in South African Schools, 2001, report, http://www.hrw.org/reports/2001/safrica/, Source: Human Rights Watch.

 

2)      The appropriate category (outlined above) in which each resource belongs. If a resource fits in more than one category (e.g. police violence against street children would fit both violence in the streets (5) and violence by police (7)), please list both categories.

 

3)      Contact information for requesting or ordering the resource, i.e. mailing address, phone, website. This will be added to a separate “Contacts” section of the bibliography.

 

The sample listings below are drawn from Human Rights Watch, which has offered to coordinate this project. Obviously this is just the start of what we hope will become a much more exhaustive list of resources on violence against children.
