520			_aThis article explores international developments in legalities concerning the physical punishment of children, and discusses the implications for New Zealand. The article examines countries that have already abolished the physical disciplining of children, such as Sweden, Israel and Germany, and those that are looking to do so, for instance Italy and England. New Zealand abolished corporal punishment in schools in 1990, but s59 of the Crimes Act (1961) remains, allowing for the use of 'reasonable force' to discipline children. However, the inconsistent application of this law has often excused seemingly severe violence against children in New Zealand.
