Study finds less violence in youth when corporal punishment is banned.
Youth living in countries with bans on corporal punishment were 31 percent less violent
Researchers analyzed data across 88 countries, territories, and protectorate states and over 400,000 adolescents in what’s being called the “largest cross-national analysis of youth violence.”. What they found isn’t too surprising. “Societies that have these bans in place appear to be safer places for kids to grow up in,” said lead study author Frank Elgar.
Of the 88 counties covered, 30 had full bans on spanking or other forms of corporal punishment , 38 countries had partial bans , and 20 had no bans in place . Corporal punishment was defined as an adult’s use of physical force to “correct or control” a child’s behavior. Globally, close to 300 million children ages two to four receive some type of physical discipline from their parents or caregivers on a regular basis,which is not surprising. It seems most parents firmly sit in a “spanking” or “no spanking” camp for reasons including their own upbringing and beliefs on effective discipline. But studies like these go a long way in educating parents on the future impacts this type of punishment can have.
