On Banning Seclusion versus Establishing Enforceable Standards for Managing Dangerous Behavior in Schools: A Response to Krezmien and Mulcahy (2024)
摘要
In a recent article, Krezmien and Mulcahy (2024) made the case for a ban on seclusionary practices in school settings. Despite our agreement that seclusion is over and misused we came to different conclusions concerning the role of seclusion in educational environments. In this response we will highlight points of agreement and disagreements concerning their arguments on the use of seclusion. Then, we will point out problems associated with a ban on seclusion and end with a recommendation for increased regulation and oversight on the use of both seclusion and physical restraint.
