I was surprised to hear that corporal punishment of children is still allowed in the US. It's been banned here in Sweden since 1966 (apparently we were first with it as well). Just a few weeks ago a new study was published (in Swedish) showing that detrimental effects later in life might be correlated with physical or psychological punishment in childhood and that these effects have decreased in the population over the decades since corporal punishment was made illegal.
