| dc.description.abstract | There is a fine line between physical abuse and legal, socially approved spanking and other modes of disciplining children. Although some researchers argue that corporal punishment often leads to physical abuse, the relationship is largely ignored by federal and other organizations, which have campaigned against corporal punishment by teachers in the schools, but not by parents. This book chapter examines the evidence regarding the relationship between corporal punishment and physical abuse, and assesses whether the topic is adequately discussed in the scholarly literature.
