A Generation Without Smacking: The impact of Sweden's ban on physical punishment

Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: In the UK and in many other countries
around the world, there is widespread
debate around parenting and the use of
physical punishment to discipline
children. Sweden was the first country
to ban physical punishment in 1979.
This report looks at the impact of this
ban 20 years later and at the possible
merits of similar legislation in other
countries. Owner: Joan Durrantpdf: http://www.endcorporalpunishment.org/pages/pdfs/GenerationwithoutSmackin...
