This publication approaches the controversial issue of corporal punishment of children from four different angles: the legal and human rights obligation, as defined by regional and international conventions and agreements, to ban corporal punishment of children; the status of corporal punishment in European countries today; recent research results on its effects and prevalence, including how children see it; and the abolition of corporal punishment as a process, entailing changes in law, policies and public opinion.--Publisher's description.
