Hahaha! Is Kane still claimg the decline of crime was due to the decline
in spanking??? What about the crime rates during the mid '90's, Kane?

That's when adults that were spanked more as children were becoming
teens and young adults. And other factors were coming up as well.

Hihihi! So before that, they were spanking LESS???

Doan

Was it true for youth?

Why was it posted ONLY to alt.parenting.spanking ???


Oh, maybe because spanking is falling into more and more disfavor,
with less of it going on.

And:

"The youngest teenagers (presumably those raised with the most modern
attitudes) show the biggest declines of all. Over the last 30 years,
rape arrest rates have fallen by 80% among Californians under age 15,
much larger than the 25% drop among residents age 40 and older."

The claim that "youth is running wild," has been around since it was
popular to claim it in ancient Rome.

The truth is the less corporal punishment the less youth crime, Greg.

Correlation does not imply causation..

Premise: there is less youth crime currently than formerly.
It is equally valid to say:
The less corporal punishment the less youth crime
The more internet porn the less youth crime
The greater the violence in video games the less youth crime
The higher the average planetary temperature the less youth crime
The higher the atmospheric concentration of CO2 the less youth crime
The higher the median family income the less youth crime
The greater the availability of consensual sex acts the less youth crime


The trends have followed each other very closely.

It used to be, for instance, that while toddlers were spanked (they
still are) it tended to continue on into older age groups as well.

It no longer does.

Read up. Get educated. Learn the truth...or are you afraid you'll lose
all your biases?
