Physical Punishment and The Development of Aggressive and Violent Behavior: A Review, by Elizabeth Kandel Physical punishment differs significantly from abusive parental violence in many ways, including (but not limited to) the degree of aggression used, the potential for injury, how deviant the behavior is, and the typical intention of the parent involved. The physical punishment of older children is certainly more unusual and more deviant (Straus, 1983), and thus the positive results noted in these studies may be due to the detection of more deviant parental rearing practices in general (including, but not necessarily limited to, the use of physical punishment). Of these nine, six failed to support the hypothesis of a linear association between physical punishment and aggression: three found that moderate physical punishment and low/no physical punishment conditions did not differ in their association with aggression, and three found that moderate physical punishment was actually associated with the lowest levels of aggression. www.cei.net /~rcox/areview.html   (7949 words)

Physical Punishment of Children Physical punishment of children can be considered to be inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment and as such may be challenged in Scottish courts after this date.

Physical punishment of children - Family Matters - Journal article - Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) She says: 'culturally we believe in punishment, its efficacy and virtue.' Such an interpretation seems to be reinforced by the fact that most mothers reported that the common reactions of their children to being physically punished were 'hurt feelings', 'anger' and 'upset'. Furthermore, physical punishment of teenage children was also linked with the endorsement of corporal punishment in schools and to the use of violence in settling other types of disputes including domestic quarrels. The only substantial difference was that almost all of the pupils intended to use physical punishment for stealing (91 per cent compared with 57 per cent who reported having that experience) while fewer felt that the lesser offences including squabbling, warranted physical punishment as often as their parents had used it. www.aifs.gov.au /institute/pubs/fm1/fm36gm.html   (1655 words)

Voices for Children - Report -- Physical punishment-- and its alternatives Physical punishment may focus the child’s attention on the consequences of his behaviour for himself, rather than on how the child’s behaviour affects others. Physical punishment in childhood has been linked to the development of adult aggression, criminal and anti-social behaviour, and the abuse of one’s own child or spouse. Because physical punishment is ineffective in teaching socially appropriate behaviour and potentially may cause physical and emotional harm, parents and caregivers are strongly encouraged to develop alternative, positive approaches to discipline. www.voicesforchildren.ca /report-June2003-2.htm   (988 words)

When does physical punishment become physical abuse? Physical punishment of children for the purpose of discipline, by parents or caregivers, is permitted by law provided it falls within the bounds of 'reasonable chastisement', is seen as moderate and is administered for the purpose of correcting behaviour.4 'Reasonable chastisement' is a term which is difficult to define precisely. Child physical abuse is often the inadvertent result of physical punishment administered by an angry frustrated parent. Physical punishment which results, intentionally or unintentionally, in injury or tissue damage to the child or young person is physical abuse and may become the grounds for a charge of assault as well as the grounds for protective intervention by Protective Services. www.secasa.com.au /index.php/family/11/95/3   (1087 words)

A Christian Perspective on Corporal Punishment Punishment tends to assume that "they" (children) are bent toward evil (or at least no good) and are out to manipulate "us" (the police/parents). Punishment can lack in consistent application because the meting out of punishment tends to be subject to the mood of the parent. Any form of punishment which serves to debilitate the will, or works to subordinate it to the will of another; and which holds the child culpable before the age of reason is in conflict with the God given nature of the child and the teaching of the Church. www.nospank.net /popcak.htm   (5679 words)
