Domestic violence against women is continuous with state corporal punishment

Evidence

The 1975 and 1985 National Family Violence Surveys documented not only that physical punishment was common but that it was associated with a dose-response relationship to more severe violence. Parents who used ordinary physical punishment were significantly more likely to also use severe physical violence. Severe physical violence was significantly associated with behaviors that would be classified as child physical abuse by child protective services standards. — , The Rod and the Child, 9784 (#expands, via linked claim)
