Trickortreating, is an activity for children on or around Halloween in which they go on from house to house in costumes, asking for treats such as candies with the question, “Trick or treat?” Trickortreating is one of the main traditions of Halloween. It has become socially expected that if one lives in a neighborhood with children one should buy treat in preparation for trickortreaters.
The history of Halloween has evolved. The activity is popular in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Canada. Bad trickortreating has started to happen among children in many parts of Europe. In continental Europe, where the commercedriven importation of Halloween is seen with more illegal “tricks” and police warnings have further raised doubt about this game and Halloween in general.
