Corporal Punishment (eBook, PDF)

A Philosophical Assessment

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Against the view that corporal punishment is morally legitimate and should be legally permitted provided it falls short of abuse, Lenta argues that all corporal punishment is morally impermissible and ought to be legally proscribed. He engages with empirical literature to examine the emotional and psychological effects of corporal punishment.
