Plus anyway, where I come the world doesn't run on any threats of violence at all.
It's a known fact in the theories of education that hitting children will simply lead them to be more aggressive and noncompliant - which are often the reasons for the parents hitting them in the first place.

they don't have police in austrailia?
those "studies" show that children who are physically and emotionally abused over long periods of time, when combined with other factors, are more likely to be abusive later in life. i doubt you'll find many reports saying that if you spank a child once in a while that they'll turn out like jeffery dahmer.
it's also a known psychological fact that negative reinforcement is proven to be just effective in correcting/establishing behaviors as positive reinforcement.
