Should any child be required to testify in the adult criminal courts? This course critically examines the place of children up to 18 years old within the criminal justice system. It examines childhood as a construct before exploring how children have been perceived and treated by the criminal justice system, with a particular focus on children testifying in criminal trials. Longstanding views of children as victims and/or threats will be balanced against contemporary views of children as rights-bearing individuals. Students will investigate the degree to which New Zealand’s current criminal justice system respects children’s rights, whether that child is an offender, a complainant, or a bystander witness.
