Book Synopsis Taking Care of the Future by : Oliver Pattenden
Download or read book Taking Care of the Future written by Oliver Pattenden and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking Care of the Future examines the moral dimensions and transformative capacities of education and humanitarianism through an intimate portrayal of learners, volunteers, donors, and educators at a special needs school in South Africa and a partnering UK-based charity. Drawing on his professional experience of “inclusive education” in London, Oliver Pattenden investigates how systems of schooling regularly exclude and mishandle marginalized populations, particularly exploring how “street kids” and poverty-afflicted young South Africans experience these dynamics as they attempt to fashion their futures. By unpacking the ethical terrains of fundraising, voluntourism, Christian benevolence, human rights, colonial legacies, and the post-apartheid transition, Pattenden analyzes how political, economic and social aspects of intervention materialize to transform the lives of all those involved.
Book Synopsis Corporal Punishment in U.S. Public Schools by : Elizabeth T. Gershoff
Download or read book Corporal Punishment in U.S. Public Schools written by Elizabeth T. Gershoff and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 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.

Book Synopsis Corporal Punishment of Children in International and National Law by : Desiree Gumpenberger
Download or read book Corporal Punishment of Children in International and National Law written by Desiree Gumpenberger and published by Wolf Legal Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the growing consensus that corporal punishment violates children's fundamental human rights - the respect for human dignity and physical integrity - most of the world's children are still subjected to assault. Against this background, this book discusses and compares the characteristics of corporal punishment of children as laid down in international documents, such as the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. The book also looks at regional documents, including the European Convention on Human Rights, the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, and the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. Each chapter starts with a short introduction, followed by an examination of a definition of corporal punishment, and shows the role of expert bodies who are monitoring the implementation and processes of standard-setting. Therefore, a distinction is made between the prohibition in alternative care settings, schools, and by parents, which leads to the question: "Is corporal punishment of children by their parents prohibited?" The second part of the book deals with a comparative study, analyzing the implementation of the previously discussed documents in the UK, Zambia, South Africa, and Belgium. Hence, the question is "How does the State implement the provision of the prohibition of corporal punishment in domestic law?" which is followed by the question "Has the specific State prohibited corporal punishment of children by their parents?" The book ends with a conclusion in which the above-mentioned countries are compared with each other.
Book Synopsis Children's Rights in Africa by : Julia Sloth-Nielsen
Download or read book Children's Rights in Africa written by Julia Sloth-Nielsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection is anchored in an African conception of children's rights and the law, and reflects contemporary discourses taking place in the region of the children's rights sphere. The majority of contributors are African and adopt an individual approach to their topic which reflects their first-hand experience. The book focuses on child rights issues which have particular resonance on the continent and the chapters span themes which are both broad and narrow, containing subject matter which is both theoretical and illuminated by practice. The book profiles recent developments and experiences in furthering children's legal rights in the African context, and distils from these future trends the specific role that the law can play in the African children's rights environment.
Book Synopsis Sparing the Rod by : Marie Parker-Jenkins

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should we treat unruly children in schools? This is a question perennially raised by adults but rarely asked of children. Now that schools cannot resort to corporal punishment, alternative sanctions are needed, which are effective but which do not contravene children's legal or moral rights. This boook explores issues of discipline in schools within the framework of children's rights. It also traces the history of corporal punishment in schools and its abolition in terms of both law and practice.

Book Synopsis Amnesty, Human Rights and Political Transitions by : Louise Mallinder
Download or read book Amnesty, Human Rights and Political Transitions written by Louise Mallinder and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-09-10 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amnesty laws are political tools used since ancient times by states wishing to quell dissent, introduce reforms, or achieve peaceful relationships with their enemies. In recent years, they have become contentious due to a perception that they violate international law, particularly the rights of victims, and contribute to further violence. This view is disputed by political negotiators who often argue that amnesty is a necessary price to pay in order to achieve a stable, peaceful, and equitable system of government. This book aims to investigate whether an amnesty necessarily entails a violation of a state's international obligations, or whether an amnesty, accompanied by alternative justice mechanisms, can in fact contribute positively to both peace and justice. This study began by constructing an extensive Amnesty Law Database that contains information on 506 amnesty processes in 130 countries introduced since the Second World War. The database and chapter structure were designed to correspond with the key aspects of an amnesty: why it was introduced, who benefited from its protection, which crimes it covered, and whether it was conditional. In assessing conditional amnesties, related transitional justice processes such as selective prosecutions, truth commissions, community-based justice mechanisms, lustration, and reparations programmes were considered. Subsequently, the jurisprudence relating to amnesty from national courts, international tribunals, and courts in third states was addressed. The information gathered revealed considerable disparity in state practice relating to amnesties, with some aiming to provide victims with a remedy, and others seeking to create complete impunity for perpetrators. To date, few legal trends relating to amnesty laws are emerging, although it appears that amnesties offering blanket, unconditional immunity for state agents have declined. Overall, amnesties have increased in popularity since the 1990s and consequently, rather than trying to dissuade states from using this tool of transitional justice, this book argues that international actors should instead work to limit the more negative forms of amnesty by encouraging states to make them conditional and to introduce complementary programmes to repair the harm and prevent a repetition of the crimes. David Dyzenhaus "This is one of the best accounts in the truth and reconciliation literature I've read and certainly the best piece of work on amnesty I've seen." Diane Orentlicher "Ms Mallinder's ambitious project provides the kind of empirical treatment that those of us who have worked on the issue of amnesties in international law have long awaited. I have no doubt that her book will be a much-valued and widely-cited resource."
