Support for Corporal Punishment in the Schools: A Comparison of the Effects of Socioeconomic Status and Religion.

Grasmick, Harold G.; And Others

Social Science Quarterly, v73 n1 p177-87 Mar 1992

Presents survey results on the movement to abolish corporal punishment in public education. Reports that fundamentalist Protestants are more supportive of corporal punishment than others. Predicts that religion is likely to be the route for public mobilization on this issue. Suggests that the greater punitiveness of Protestant fundamentalists might be linked to other policy debates.
