Books by Maurice Punch

This book, published in 1977, represents a fresh attempt to apply explicitly sociological methods to Dartington Hall School, which attempted to escape the orthodoxy of state educational provision. Maurice Punch critically scrutinises progressive education's avowed aims to revolutionise the school, to save society from its own destruction, and to produce a renewed type of man and woman.

This book examines the key issues of what policing is about and who defines it by exploring the notion of zero tolerance and its application in different settings.
