Although detention is one of the most popular methods of punishment in schools, it is
being met with increasing criticism as an educational intervention. Few studies have
explored its use to date; therefore, the present pilot study was planned to survey the
popularity of detention. By analyzing a representative sample of comprehensive school
teachers (N = 2,276) in Finland at grade levels 1-9, it was found that 30% of Finnish
school teachers regularly use this punishment. Differences in use were observed across
gender, age, and teacher category. These results provide a baseline against which future
follow-up studies can be compared.
