The essay reconstructs the history of the different editions of The Child Savers by Anthony M. Platt, not sticking to a merely philological perspective, but trying to highlight the theoretical transformations that pass through it in its three different editions (1969, 1977 and 2007). This is an intellectual evolution that is closely linked to the political biography of the Author and with the modulations of his research. Both the stratigraphy of meanings that characterizes Platt’s work and the relevance of his perspective on the topic of juvenile justice are highlighted. In fact, more than fifty years later, his work continues to spark discussions among generations of scholars, as demonstrated by the papers published in this section

Abstract

The essay reconstructs the history of the different editions of The Child Savers by Anthony M. Platt, not sticking to a merely philological perspective, but trying to highlight the theoretical transformations that pass through it in its three different editions (1969, 1977 and 2007). This is an intellectual evolution that is closely linked to the political biography of the Author and with the modulations of his research. Both the stratigraphy of meanings that characterizes Platt’s work and the relevance of his perspective on the topic of juvenile justice are highlighted. In fact, more than fifty years later, his work continues to spark discussions among generations of scholars, as demonstrated by the papers published in this section
