dc.description.abstractObjective: To bring to the attention child maltreatment professionals the potential for primary prevention of physical abuse of ending or reducing corporal punishment by parents. Method: The October 1999 special issue of Child Abuse & Neglect on “A National Call to Action: Working Toward the Elimination of Child Maltreatment” was reviewed in relation to coverage of corporal punishment by parents. Results: Corporal punishment was not mentioned in any of the nine articles. Conclusions: The combination of research showing that corporal punishment is a major risk factor for physical abuse and research showing the wide prevalence and chronicity of corporal punishment suggests that the “National Call For Action” should include steps to end use of corporal punishment as a mode of discipline.
