Children must learn to act appropriately, in ways that differ from
society to society and from context to context. The question of how
best to socialize children so that they can function successfully
has fascinated educators and psychologists for centuries. In a
world in which children exhibit levels of violence that are
strikingly un-childlike, the question of how to bring children up
takes on an immediacy for parents and psychologists. Does physical
punishment prevent further outbreaks of violent behaviour? Are
there ways of influencing children so that punishment will not be
necessary? Drawing upon rich, longitudinal data, the contributors
to this volume examine the benefits and costs of coercion and
punishment, considering such issues as mental health, antisocial
and criminal behaviour, substance abuse, and issues related to
measurement and prediction. They look at coercion among peers,
aggressive behavior in boys and girls, different parenting styles
and effects of home context. The volume draws together evidence
about coercion and punishment that have appeared in disparate
literatures, and it raises questions about easy assumptions
regarding them. It will be a useful tool for psychologists,
criminologists, social workers, child-care workers, and educators.
