Legal prohibition plus community normative work shifted behavior even in a non-welfare-state, diverse society
Evidence
New Zealand is not Sweden. It does not have Sweden’s welfare state, Sweden’s spending on parenting support, or Sweden’s forty-five-year head start. It is a more diverse society, with greater economic inequality and more contested cultural politics around parenting and family life. But it is demonstrating the same fundamental pattern: legal prohibition, combined with normative work done within communities from their own cultural frameworks, is producing measurable behavioral change across a heterogeneous population. — , The Rod and the Child, 7363
