Corporal Punishment: Violent Method of Raising Children as a Risk Factor for Violent Behavior in Adulthood
Keywords:
corporal punishment, violence, family, violent crimeAbstract
The use of corporal punishment in order to discipline and the upbringing of children has been present since the beginning of human civilization. Although for a long time a common and acceptable "educational" method, corporal punishment in recent decades, especially in recent years, has caused much controversy in the professional and scientific community, with a clear discourse of corporal punishment-violence. Numerous international studies confirm the association between an experience of mild and severe corporal punishment in childhood and later violent behavior in adulthood. The article aims to present partial results of the survey on the impact of early violent victimization on violent crime of adults. In addition, the results of the association between the experience of corporal punishment in childhood and later violent criminal behavior, with special emphasis on aggressive behavior in the secondary family are presented in this article.
