By: Material type: ArticleArticlePublication details: Durham, NC North Carolina Central University. School of Law 2005Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 346.017
In: North Carolina Central Law Journal 27(2) (2005) : 178-215Summary: This article is based on the primary research undertaken by the author for her master's thesis, "The Law Protecting Parental Corporal Punishment of Children: New Zealand's Legal Reform Options", (2001). The article traverses the issue of parental discipline defence and argues that any reform of the law must anticipate the implications for both civil and criminal proceedings. It primarily explores the New Zealand jurisdiction regarding the application of the defence in civil domestic violence protection orders, custody and guardianship, and care and protection proceedings. The author concludes that the experiences of New Zealand's Family Court and its child protection services are similar to the experiences of other common law nations, including the United States. Parental rights, child rights, and popular opinion are seen as challenging balancing acts in the arena of child discipline.
