“…11,28 Taking Sweden as a case study, one of the first countries to ban physical punishment, the diminishing belief in the appropriateness of physical punishment among Swedish society has led to successful legal implementation banning physical punishment. 29 Tackling societal beliefs toward physical punishment should precede any legislative bans as the absence of attitude change within the society has significant limitations toward curbing this practice. 27,30 Thus, although legal bans on physical punishment is an important step, this is not sufficient to change belief and behavior in the absence of public awareness of the negative effects of physical punishment and educational materials to parents on positive disciplinary methods.…”

The belief in the effectiveness of physical punishment is an important predictor for its use. The objectives of this study was to describe the factors associated with the belief for physical punishment toward children 1 to 5 years of age among Malaysian parents. Data was collected as part of the Malaysian National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2016. The respondents were asked if they believed that physical punishment is needed to raise a child properly. A total of 60.0% of Malaysian parents believed in the need for physical punishment, with 54.3% practising it. Parents who believed in physical punishment had more than 2 times a higher likelihood of practising it (odds ratio 2.57) than those who did not. Parents need to be taught to respond positively to children’s behavior and anger management strategies in difficult parenting situations.

“…For example, individuals tend to judge a slap by a supervisor at work as being more violent than a parent slapping a child (Bussmann, 1996). Changing the law makes it harder to justify the use of violence in childrearing (Frehsee, 1996). …”

Stopping violence against children is prioritized in goal 16 of the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015. All forms of child corporal punishment have been outlawed in 49 countries to date. Using data from 56,371 caregivers in eight countries that participated in UNICEF’s Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey, we examined change from Time 1 (2005–6) to Time 2 (2008–13) in national rates of corporal punishment of 2- to 14-year-old children and in caregivers’ beliefs regarding the necessity of using corporal punishment. One of the participating countries outlawed corporal punishment prior to Time 1 (Ukraine), one outlawed corporal punishment between Times 1 and 2 (Togo), two outlawed corporal punishment after Time 2 (Albania and Macedonia), and four have not outlawed corporal punishment as of 2016 (Central African Republic, Kazakhstan, Montenegro, and Sierra Leone). Rates of reported use of corporal punishment and belief in its necessity decreased over time in three countries; rates of reported use of severe corporal punishment decreased in four countries. Continuing use of corporal punishment and belief in the necessity of its use in some countries despite legal bans suggest that campaigns to promote awareness of legal bans and to educate parents regarding alternate forms of discipline are worthy of international attention and effort along with legal bans themselves.

Der Artikel gibt einen Überblick zur Entwicklung der Häufigkeitszahlen und zu den Korrelaten von Kindesmisshandlung aus der Perspektive der Kriminologie. Bedingt durch eine fortschreitende Sensibilisierung in der Bevölkerung ist unter anderem ein Rückgang gewalttätiger Erziehungsstile in den vergangenen Jahren zu konstatieren. Einen bedeutsamen Beitrag zum Umdenken und zu Verhaltensänderungen tragen hierbei legislative Änderungen und damit einhergehende öffentliche Diskurse zur Ächtung von Gewalt, insbesondere zur Ächtung von Gewalt gegen Kinder. Forschungen bestätigen, dass dies auch im Hinblick auf die Durchbrechung des Gewaltkreislaufes eine außerordentlich bedeutungsvolle Entwicklung ist.
