Ah, I so disagree... I think the recent (two decades or so) of child violence has increased BECUASE parents can't beat their kids anymore and school don't implement corporal punishment. Shit like this happened WAY less in the 50's and WAY less still in the 30s. Back then, if you caught your son kicking the family dairy cow, that kid was gonna get lashed until he had welts. Chances are, he's NEVER do it again. Fuck therapy. Fuck blaming parents. Fuck assuming everything is a result of the environment.
*sigh*
Sorry, this kind of thing pisses me off as much, or maybe even MORE than the OPs topic. Children need to learn right from wrong. Yes, most of the time explaining things and trying to be "mature" about it is the best approach. Sometimes a good ass kicking is what it takes. Sure, there's always been violence... but there's more of it in kids when parents can't use the time honored, thousands-year old tradition of the switch. Ever hear "Spare the rod, spoil the child?" Well, there are a lot of spoiled asshole kids out there that never learn right from wrong. Why do so many people fail to see this today?
