Despite being commonplace in American households a generation ago,
corporal punishment of children has been subjected to criticism and
shifting attitudes in recent years. Many school districts have
banned it, and many child advocates recommend that parents no
longer spank or strike their children. In this book, social
theorist Michael Donnelly and family violence expert Murray A.
Straus tap the expertise of social science scholars and researchers
who address issues of corporal punishment, a subject that is now
characterized as a key issue in child welfare.The contributors
discuss corporal punishment, its use, causes, and consequences,
drawing on a wide array of comparative, psychological, and
sociological theories. Together, they clarify the analytical issues
and lay a strong foundation for future research and
interdisciplinary collaboration.
