Inspired by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Felton Earls and Mary Carlson embarked on a series of studies to help children find their voice in the adult world. In Romania, they saw the devastating consequences of infant institutionalisation. In Brazil, they found street children who had banded together to advocate for themselves. In Chicago, Earls sought to understand the origins of antisocial behaviour in teenagers, and in Tanzania, they piloted a programme to guide children's growth as deliberative citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere in vivid detail are the science, ethics, and everyday practices needed to foster young citizens eager to confront social challenges.
