The Palgrave International Handbook of School Discipline, Surveillance, and Social Control by Jo Deakin,Emmeline Taylor,Aaron Kupchik Pdf

Truly international in scope, this Handbook focuses on approaches to discipline, surveillance and social control from around the world, critically examining the strategies and practices schools employ to monitor students and control their behavior.

The chapters are divided into four sections.

As the first Handbook to draw together these multiple themes into one text, and the first international comparative collection on school discipline, surveillance and social control, it will appeal to scholars across a range of fields including sociology, education, criminology, critical security studies and psychology, providing a unique, timely, and indispensable resource for undergraduate educators and researchers.
