Discussion: One of the heaviest debated topics in the law enforcement and Criminology
realms is that of corporal punishment. Society demands that we discipline our children
and keep them under control on one hand but then we condemn child abuse on the other.
Corporal punishment (ie spanking a young child) becomes an area of much confusion.
Under many state laws, it is permissible to spank a child or use some form of physical
punishment as discipline. However, if this action is conducted in public, many times
law enforcement is called to the scene. Parents, children and law enforcement are all
in a state of confusion on when we are disciplining our children and when we are
abusing them. I have been called to many homes where a 5 or 6 year old is out of
control and parents do not want to touch the child for fear of going to jail. They
call law enforcement as a means of control and use the police presence to control
their child. “If you don’t behave, they will take you away.” This does not discipline
the child but simply makes them afraid of law enforcement.
