Punishment is a bad habit - but New Zealanders continue to use it. Parents beat children, teachers hit pupils, and the majority of New Zealanders either defend their right to do so, or turn a blind eye. Jane and Jim Ritchie have never been afraid to state their views firmly and fearlessly, and they believe that the case against physical punishment and the alternatives to its use presented in this book are so powerful that people should stop - and only then will the cycle of violence that breeds violence be broken.
