DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis Brief reviews the past, present, and future use of school corporal punishment in the United States, a practice that remains legal in 19 states as it is constitutionally permitted according to the U.S. Supreme Court. As a result of school corporal punishment, nearly 200,000 children are paddled in schools each year. Most Americans are unaware of this fact or the physical injuries sustained by countless school children who are hit with objects by school personnel in the name of discipline. Therefore, Corporal Punishment in U.S. Public Schools begins by summarizing the legal basis for school corporal punishment and trends in Americans’ attitudes about it. It then presents trends in the use of school corporal punishment in the United States over time to establish its past and current prevalence. It then discusses what is known about the effects of school corporal punishment on children, though with so little research on this topic, much of the relevant literature is focused on parents’ use of corporal punishment with their children. It also provides results from a policy analysis that examines the effect of state-level school corporal punishment bans on trends in juvenile crime. It concludes by discussing potential legal, policy, and advocacy avenues for abolition of school corporal punishment at the state and federal levels as well as summarizing how school corporal punishment is being used and what its potential implications are for thousands of individual students and for the society at large. As school corporal punishment becomes more and more regulated at the state level, Corporal Punishment in U.S. Public Schools serves an essential guide for policymakers and advocates across the country as well as for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis thesis is a sociological exploration of violence at work. It is concerned with examining doctors, nurses' and teachers' experiences of violence at work in the institutional setting of schools and hospitals. It argues that media representations of this phenomenon, while having been helpful in raising awareness of violent incidents towards staff as mainly inter-personal and neglecting the institutional context of violence, have been unhelpful in extending knowledge and understanding. Thus it is argued that there are significant gaps in understanding of the nature and extent of violence in these contexts. The thesis aims to extend the current theoretical and empirical understanding of violence at work through the perceptions and experiences of these institutional actors and to examine how the institutional setting - physically and structurally - affects them in their professional roles in public sector schools and hospitals. Qualitative and quantitative data were gathered from two local authority areas in west central Scotland. Bourdieu's concepts of field, habitus and capital are used to examine the complex inter-relations of institutions, institutionalism and professional/client interactions that create a particular set of conditions which are challenged through the use of violence. 'Fields' represent the political and organisational structure of public sector health and education services whilst the 'habitus' forms the site of delivery for these services and the particular institutional cultural dispositions associated with them. The concept of 'capital' is used to examine the inter-personnel relationships, and the inter-personal relationships between client groups, in the work habitus. It concludes that the need for an integrated approach to understanding violence in the context of institutions is crucial if effective interventions are to be made and appropriate policies developed.
