Corporal Punishment and the Law
Captions available
The idea
Sweden banned corporal punishment of children in nineteen seventy-nine, and many countries have since followed; the American Academy of Pediatrics calls it ineffective.
In practice
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, ratified by one hundred ninety-six countries, every UN member except the United States.
Where people slip
The course reports the law and professional positions as facts and takes no policy position.
