This edited book, Corporal Punishment of Children - Comparative Legal and Social Developments towards Prohibition and Beyond, stemmed from an inaugural workshop held in Stockholm Sweden in 2017. The chapters of the book provide insights into the views and experiences of prominent academics, political, religious, and human rights activists from Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, the UK, and the US. Country-specific, and thematic, understandings in relation to children’s ongoing experience of corporal punishment are detailed and discussed, and key questions are raised and considered with a view to advancing progress towards societies in which children’s human rights to dignity and optimal development are more fully recognised.
