"Publications such as...Physical Punishment in Childhood should
help to educate professionals and the public, and advance the cause
of children's rights in the United States and the world."
(PsycCRITIQUES, December 2010)
"It provides a very good summary of the history, language, impact
and legal responses to physical punishment of children in Sweden
and various English-speaking countries, with particular attention
to Australia, the authors' country of residence. The strength and
real contribution of the book lies, however, in the presentation of
the views of children-voices that are generally not heard in the
debate about this contentious issue though they are the ones who
bear the brunt of this form of punishment. In this book, they are
given equal standing with those of the adults-the parents and the
professionals." (Child Abuse Review, 2010)
