“…Moreover, in some countries, this parental privilege is even extended to teachers. Although Germany prohibited corporal punishment in schools in the nineteen seventies, it One important argument for the German reform was that the experience of physical punishment in the family holds many risks for children's development-a consistent finding of international research for more than two decades (Pfeiffer et al, 1998;Smith and Thornberry, 1995;Spatz Widom, 1989;Straus et al, 1997;Wetzels, 1997).

In 2000, the German Government passed a law prohibiting physical punishment in the family. A pre-post research design allows for an examination of its effects. The results of nationwide representative surveys on the experiences, perceptions, legal knowledge and attitudes of adolescents and parents are discussed. The recent surveys reveal a significant decrease in the prevalence of corporal punishments and a high acceptance of the legal prohibition. In particular, awareness of the legal limits of parental physical sanctions has increased significantly. For these reasons, the prohibition of corporal punishment can be said to have had an impact on the reduction of family violence against children in Germany.

“…Die Reaktionen der Experten fielen differenzierter aus. Einige Fachleute gestanden der PKS zu, Veränderungen des ›tatsächlichen‹ delinquenten Verhalten von Jugendlichen wenigstens der Tendenz nach richtig wiederzugeben, und suchten nach den sozialen Ursachen dieser Entwicklung (Pfeiffer & Ohlemacher 1995). Andere sahen sich durch den starken Anstieg in ihrer Position bestätigt, dass 145 Kriminalstatistiken viel über die Arbeit der Polizei und wenig über die Delinquenz von Jugendlichen aussagen, und dass aus einer Zunahme in der Statistik nicht auf eine tatsächliche Zunahme des strafbaren Verhaltens geschlossen werden könne (Walter 1996).…”
