Sixty-three countries—nearly a third of the world—ban the use of physical punishment with children. In the early 1990s, that number was only four. U.S. law protects adults from assault, but current policies and societal conventions suggest that assault toward children is more acceptable, particularly if it is done by parents or guardians. What is often overlooked is the connection between physical punishment of children and broader public health and societal issues— which is where Catherine Taylor’s
work lies. “From a public health perspective, when we think about what is developmentally appropriate for children, there is no line between physical punishment and abuse,” Taylor said. “ There is no safe, healthy way to hit a child, so the evidence shows hitting children can only lead to less healthy outcomes.” Taylor, who joined Boston College’s School of Social Work in the summer of 2020, has spent over 20 years trying to understand the relationship between public health, violence protection, and children’s exposure to trauma.
