Introduction:

Corporal Punishment is the intentional infliction of pain on the body for the purposes of

punishment. The research project that I have done is to assess the views and opinions that the

students at Tuskegee University have about spanking and corporal punishment on children. The

survey was given out to the students as a paper copy but also placed on the Internet for others to

take. In this survey the students were asked did getting spanked as a means of discipline punish

them. It also asks how likely they will spank their children as a mean of discipline. The majority

of the people who took my survey were students under the age of 21. My hypotheses were more

likely males who took my survey were spanked as a mean of discipline and still were in trouble

with the police. I also believed that females would more than likely use spanking as a means of

discipline. I really was not surprise with the results I received from these surveys.
