ABSTRACT
If rats are given the chance to engage in rough and tumble play, are they less likely to be delinquent? And if so can we treat bad boys with rough and tumble therapy to help them stay out of jail? Panskepp and his colleagues posed this question and it shows off nicely some of the paradoxes of play research (Scott and Panksepp 2003). I want to come back to that later on in this chapter.
