Title: DISCOVERING CHILD POVERTY: THE CREATION OF A POLICY AGENDA FROM 1800 TO THE PRESENT
Description: "The book charts key British developments in child welfare, child poverty research and state support for children from 1800 to the present day. With direct quotations from key sources, it argues that even in the face of clear evidence of hardship, the response of policy makers to child poverty has been ambivalent."--Jacket.
