Rassegna bibliografica 1/2009 - Clowns in hospitals

Marco Mannucci, PhD in Pedagogy at the University of Florence, wrote the bibliographic review of this issue focusing on the role of clowns in hospitals. Mannucci gives an overview of international programmes of clown therapy, starting from the American physician Patch Adams, the precursor of a different approach to the care of the sick, to continue with the projects implemented by Italian associations. At the end of the article there are an in-depth analysis of the figure of the clown, an accurate bibliography and a list of websites.

The filmography review focuses on the directors who have put clowns at the centre of their imagery, as well as on the comedians who have updated the characteristics of clowns through their own interpretations.

Rassegna bibliografica 2/2009 - The juvenile judge

This issue focuses on the figure of the juvenile judge. In the bibliographic review, Luigi Fadiga, Professor of Juvenile Law at the LUMSA University in Rome, former president of the Juvenile Court of Rome, describes the historical steps which have led to the gradual definition of the role of the juvenile judge in Italy.
Already in 1908 it was established that judges had to specialize in juvenile law. Afterwards, several legal provisions established that the same applied to all the parties involved in criminal proceedings against minors, including lawyers, social workers and criminal investigators – in a perspective which goes beyond the traditional division between criminal and civil responsibility.

Rassegna bibliografica 3/2009 - Poverty and social exclusion

The bibliographic review of this issue deals with poverty of children and adolescents. The author, the sociologist Anna Laura Zanatta, introduces the topic starting from the definition of the concept of poverty as a complex, multi-dimensional phenomenon. This notion is linked to the one of social exclusion, which has been introduced recently and which is now considered a guiding principle for the study of the cases of deprivation and for the elaboration of social policies at a national and at a European level.

The article examines the phenomenon at an international level and it identifies the factors which cause it or which can reduce it (the characteristics of the family, the inclusion of parents in the job market, the effectiveness of public measures).
