I’d like to see these studies and review them sir

This is intriguing to me.


Tons of studies on the issue from all different directions.



College students who were spanked as children are more likely to be lawbreakers:




Children who were spanked are more likely to commit domestic violence in future dating relationships:




Countries that outlaw spanking tend to see future reductions in crime rates:




* States that allow corporal punishment in schools have far higher crime rates




* Kids who were beat physically for offenses at school were far more likely to be incarcerated at 18 than the ones who got lesser punishment for same offenses




* 95% of prisoners in NY system had been abused as children




Incarcerated Black men were more likely to have recieved authoritarian punishments from their mothers than Black men who hadn't been in trouble with the law:




The conclusions from an extensive review of the research on causality between childhood spankings and future crime:

"The conclusion from this combination of meta-analyses, experiments, and quasi-experiments is that the preponderance of evidence links physical punishment with detrimental child outcomes. There is no evidence that physical punishment is effective at improving child behavior or at reducing other negative outcomes for children. The research linking physical punishment with harm to children is, with only a few exceptions, consistent and unidirectional, and it has been replicated across a range of study designs and methods, thereby increasing the validity of causal inference."





Here's a graph from some more simplistic research that puts it in stark terms:

And for anyone who would rather read articles on the research rather than the research itself:

Kids used to have nightmares about going to hell. A lot of the times it was because they knew even grown ups were afraid of hell.

Hell is now a fairytale construct. For all, young and old.

Children who fear nothing are more dangerous than the cruelest of adults.

They know very very little of consequences because they lack experience. That translates to an ability to do the unthinkable, whether for good or bad.

More and more I realize that religion only exists because men knew from experience the necessity of having something curb the darkest part of human nature.

A kid today will kill you and stress about where they dropped their phone rather than the fact that they just took you away from your loved ones.
I think it's a little deeper than that religion exists because you will actually be transported to another dimension where your soul will be tortured for all eternity because you couldn't walk that straight and narrow path.

Threads like these always like to default to the old "it's always been like that talking points" but I'm here to tell you, gen-x and my generation (millenials) are some of the woat parents, if you fall into them groups, you got kids and it don't apply to you don't take offense. But gen-x was the beginning of parents living their 2nd childhood and wanting to be perpetually fly. This came at the expense of their parenting.

When crime pertaining to that demographic was at historical lows pre pandemic, did that mean that Gen X/Millenials were doing a great job parenting?

I'd argue Gen-X suck because the boomers suck

I can count on one hand how many times i've spanked my children on one hand. The more you communicate with your children, and spend uninterrupted time with your children, the less you have to discipline them.

If the only time you're spending time with your kids is when you're disciplining them for doing wrong. Then a child will equate getting attention from the parent through bad behavior.

The more quality time you spend with your child, the more your child will seek not to disappoint you. CUTTING DOWN, not eliminating totally, bad behavior. Outside influences from peers have a play in this as well though. This is from my observation in different community groups im involved with.

Covid is going to be underestimated and ignored for years what it done to society, eventually people will study how society was effected

well there is already studies on it. even most high school kids will tell you it fukked their lives up for a minute. and those are the "smart" kids even, imagine the kids that were already struggling
