Research has clearly demonstrated associations between corporal punishment of children and maladaptive behavior patterns such as aggression and delinquency. Hitting children is an act of violence and a clear violation of children's human rights. In this article, the position of the United States on corporal punishment of children is discussed. Professional and international progress on ending corporal punishment is explained, and the relationship between corporal punishment and child abuse is discussed. An appeal is made for prevention efforts such as parent education and removal of social sanctions for hitting children that may hold significant promise for preventing child maltreatment.
研究清楚地表明，打孩子与诸如攻击行为和违法行为等不良行为模式之间存在关联。打孩子是一种暴力行为，也是对儿童人权的明确侵犯。本文讨论了美国对儿童体罚的立场。解释了专业和国际上在结束体罚方面的进展，并讨论了体罚与虐待儿童之间的关系。呼吁开展预防工作，例如对父母进行教育，并取消打孩子的社会制裁，这可能对预防儿童虐待具有重要意义。
