Violence towards Children in the United States and Sweden.
Gelles, Richard J.; Edfeldt, Ake W.
Child Abuse and Neglect: The International Journal, v10 n4 p501-10 1986
Interviews with nationally representative samples of American (N=1,146) and Swedish (N=1,168) families revealed no significant differences between the countries in reported severe or abusive violence toward their children, in spite of the passage of an antispanking law in Sweden. In general, Swedish parents reported using less violence than parents from the United States. (Author/CB)
