> Sonia Livingstone, LSE
> Published June 2009 by Polity, Cambridge
>
> Children and the Internet reveals the complex 
> dynamic between online opportunities and online 
> risks, exploring this in relation to much debated issues such as:
>
> ·        Digital in/exclusion
> ·        Learning and literacy
> ·        Peer networking and privacy
> ·        Civic participation
> ·        Risk and harm
>
> Drawing on current theories of identity, 
> development, education and participation, this 
> book includes a refreshingly critical account of 
> the challenging realities undermining the great 
> expectations held out for the internet - from 
> governments, teachers, parents and children 
> themselves. It concludes with a forward-looking 
> framework for policy and regulation designed to 
> advance children?s rights to expression, 
> connection and play online as well as offline.
