Jordan B. Petersonā€™s Support of Corporal Punishment for Children: A Critique

62
In his book 12 Rules for Life, supposedly based on "cutting-edge research," Jordan Peterson attempts to justify the hitting of children as a form of discipline. But Peterson does so without citingĀ a single studyĀ to support his view. In fact,Ā this entire section of the book is bereft of any reference to any research supporting the effectiveness of corporal punishment.
