Dr. Brian Gran
The Children’s Rights Index (CRI)
Lynn Gannon,
who co-directs this project, and I are working with
Robin Patterson and Michael Flatt (Dawn Aliberti and
Casey Schroeder have previously contributed) on the
Children’s Rights Index (CRI). The CRI is a measure of
children’s rights for approximately 190 countries. The
CRI is based on the United Nations Convention on the
Rights of the Child. We are attempting to code three
separate rights for four types: civil, political,
social, and participation rights. We use these types on
the basis of the work of people like T.H. Marshall,
Bryan Turner, Thomas Janoski, and others. We hope this
endeavor is useful to other academic research as well as
policy makers and non-profit organizations who work on
children’s rights.
