N2  - This book documents the history of the banning of physical punishment of children in New Zealand which was passed into law under the Crimes (Substituted Section 59) Amendment Act. The authors provide a case study of the amendment to this legislation and explore the considerable debate surrounding the banning of physical punishment of children. Facets discussed include children's rights and the law, the impact of religious convictions upon the debate, the influential role played by the media, the work of children's advocates, the political sphere, and shifting public attitudes and the climate for change. The text is supported by an informative set of appendices
