“…By the time the present data were collected the new program had expanded and was in operation in more than 70 schools throughout the nation. The basic goals of the program are for officers (many of whom are volunteers) to provide a positive role model for youths and to aid school officials in the control of delinquency (Brown 2006;Korean National Police Agency 2005). However, to date no studies of the efficacy of the fledgling school police program have been published so it is not possible to ascertain whether there has been a reduction in student misbehavior at sites where the program has been implemented.…”

This article provides an analysis of survey data on perceptions of student misconduct, perceived respect for teachers, and support for corporal punishment among school teachers in South Korea. The data were gathered from a survey of 110 middle and high school teachers in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. Descriptive, chi square, logistic regression, ordinal regression, and linear regression statistical analyses were conducted. The majority of teachers surveyed indicated believing that student misconduct and lack of respect for teachers are big problems in Korea and that the problems have become worse over the years. The majority of teachers supported the use of corporal punishment at the middle school level, but the teachers were divided on the question of whether corporal punishment is necessary at the high school level. Regression analyses of the data showed that neither demographic characteristics nor perceived respect for teachers significantly impacted support for corporal punishment. The only variable which significantly affected support for corporal punishment in the regression analyses was the belief that student behavior has become worse over the years. The policy implications are discussed.

“…In some states like South Carolina, school district officials made arrangements with local police and Sheriff Departments to have officers and deputies assigned to serve as school resource officers; however, other states had created their own independent police departments for schools (Brown, 2006;Girouard, 2001). Brown (2006) noted that school resource officers were "a new species of public servant: a hybrid of educational, correctional, and law enforcement official," (p. 593).…”

“…Taser use by school resource officers (SROs) has increased over the past 5 to 6 years, shortly after local law enforcement agencies added tasers to their repertoire (Devine, 1996;Casella, 2000;Ayers et al, 2001;Giroux, 2001Giroux, , 2009Grossberg, 2004;Browne, 2005;Robbins, 2005Robbins, , 2009aBrown, 2006;Meiners, 2007;Mukherjee & Karpatkin, 2007;Warnick, 2007;Fancher, 2009). Over 12,000 of 18,000 police departments in the USA currently equip agents with tasers (Amnesty International, 2008b), and as of 2006 (the most recent year for which statistics could be found), more than 1700 of these agencies have equipped their SROs with tasers (Leonard & Winton, 2009;Segura, 2009).…”

Perhaps more extensively and provocatively than any other contemporary theorist, Henry Giroux has theorized the relationship between youth and democratic public life. Beginning arguably with his first book, Ideology, Culture, and the Process of Schooling (Temple University Press, 1981), and continuing across a number of critically acclaimed works in the 1980s and early 1990s, Giroux uncompromisingly theorized the relationship between schooling and democracy, implicitly registering the importance of youth to a vibrant, radical democracy. Giroux redefined and expanded his analytic in the early 1990s with forays into postmodern theory, critical feminism, and media and cultural studies, among many other fields. With this redefined (and to this day evolving) analytic frame came an intensified effort to explicitly theorize the category of youth and analyze the broad socio-political, cultural and economic shifts that simultaneously transformed everyday life for youth and the 'image' -or figure -of youth across a range of sites, including policy discourse, news reportage and popular film. Yet, unlike other scholars and critics who considered youth in the 1990s (and today), Giroux also situated youth in relationship to the intellectual and her/his re-articulation amid these shifts. Giroux's contributions in this regard are singular and predictably compelling. In this article, the author considers the underlying method by which Giroux has theorized the relationships between youth, the intellectual, and democratic public life, while highlighting the contemporary relevance of this aspect of Giroux's massive body of work by appropriating it in an analysis of one intensification of the current war on youth found in the increasing use of tasers on children and youth in schools.
