United Nations
UNESCO recommends that corporal punishment be prohibited in schools, homes and institutions as a form of discipline, and that it is a violation of human rights as well as counterproductive, ineffective, dangerous and harmful to children on several levels.
Australia
The Australian Psychological Society holds the corporal punishment of children is an ineffective method of deterring unwanted behavior, promotes undesirable behaviors and fails to demonstrate an alternative desirable behavior.
Canada
The Canadian Pediatrics Society reviewed research on spanking and concluded that it was associated with negative outcomes, and recommended spanking be discouraged by physicians.
United Kingdom
The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health supports advocacy to protect children from all types of assault including spanking and opposes striking of children in all circumstances. The Royal College of Psychiatrists also take the position that corporal punishment is unacceptable in all circumstances.
United States
The American Academy of Pediatrics stated that corporal punishment possesses some negative side effects and limited benefits, and recommends the use of other forms of discipline to manage undesirable behavior. The American Psychological Association believes that the use of physical punishment in institutions that care for children is unlikely to improve problem behavior and poses the risk of significant negative side effects including poor self-esteem, hostility and greater likelihood of using physical aggression.
