Licensed to Hug by Frank Furedi
In Licensed to Hug, Frank Furedi and Jennie Bristow identify recent developments in child protection policies, and they provide examples of absurdities caused by the police vetting scheme to demonstrate why these issues must continue to be debated in the public domain.
Frank Furedi is Professor of Sociology at the University of Kent in Canterbury. During the past decade his research has been concerned with the culture of fear in relation to issues such as health, children, education, food, terrorism and new technology. Since the publication of his study Paranoid Parenting (2001 & 2008), Furedi has explored problems associated with inter-generational relations, education and childhood. His recently published Wasted: Why Education is not Educating (Continuum 2009)-that questions the way society educates children and young people and offers an alternative approach. Jennie Bristow is a journalist and mother of two. She writes the 'Guide to Subversive Parenting' column for the online publication spiked (www.spikedonline.com) and is author of Standing Up To Supernanny (Imprint Academic 2009).
