Abstract

CARRILLO-URREGO, Abelardo. Punishment in child rearing: the current state of this issue. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.2, pp.719-740. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.16206.

The objective of this paper is to bring together the main findings of recent social research on the forms and types of violence used by parents in child rearing in the Mexican context. The results are organized based on the methodological strategies that have been used in different empirical studies. A literature review made it possible to establish that the main resources accepted and used by parents to discipline their children continue to be physical, verbal and psychological violence. Studies have also identified some risk factors for violence against children linked to the demographic, economic and social characteristics of their parents.

Keywords : child abuse; child rearing; domestic violence (Unesco Social Science Thesaurus).
