Protecting children is one of the long-term functions of human communities. This book addresses the protection of children as a historical phenomenon and as part of a more general change to childhood and youth in the Nordic context, with a particular focus on Finland.

Exploring how the forms of organising the protection of children have changed from the Middle Ages (c. 1100) to the present (2020s), as well as situating these developments within wider transformations in generational relations and their governance, this book draws on legislation and law-making documents as empirical indicators of changes in generational relations and the organisation of protection across time and place. The analysis is based on a theorisation of generational relations, through which governance is understood as the structuring of the relationship between adulthood and childhood within practices of protecting children.
