Throughout the work the limitations of the family as a socialising agency are revealed. Many families are ill-equipped for the responsibility of socialising children. Poverty, marital conflict or unresolved parental trauma from violence affect parenting. Anecdotal accounts of the experience and history of actual childhood violence confront and disturb the reader throughout this anthology which will certainly enhance individual awareness of their own proclivity for violence. At the same time, society is shown to bear a definite responsibility for generating violence - and hence for curbing it.
Review focuses on writings in book or other format and of interest to the legal profession.
While the law will take priority, writings on politics, economics, history and travel as well as biography, will also be given coverage. Occasionally we will review publications with dated imprints. These may not have been reviewed in NSW before and may still be of value to readers.
