N2  - "In 2007, after years of community  advocacy,  parent education  and contentious public debate, New Zealand was the
first English-speaking country to achieve legal prohibition of physical punishment of children in all settings. At the time, New Zealand was the 18th country to enact such a ban. This number has now increased to 46 countries, but remarkably, other English-speaking nations have yet to follow suit. This article provides a brief case study of long-term attitude change in New Zealand based on findings from public opinion surveys over the last three decades." (From the Introduction). Record #5056
