法律保护和犯罪预防中的儿童参与权

尽管成年人在履行保护儿童的天赋职责时，总是按自己的标准和要求来实施对儿童保护和犯罪预防的传统思维定势已开始扭转，但我们不得不承认，从整体上看，我们在儿童法律保护和犯罪预防中的着重点很大程度上还停留在灌输性说教上，儿童并没有真正参与进去。其实，儿童参与早已成为国际社会的共识，并在《儿童权利公约》中将其作为儿童的一项基本权利予以规定。

Charles Rossotti took the helm at the Internal Revenue Service in 1997 amid complaints of abuse of both IRS workers and taxpayers.

His leadership offers valuable lessons and insights for administrators in all settings. Are there invaluable lessons that public administrators might learn from Rossotti’s management strategy?
