abuse of means of correction in the school environment

The abuse of means of correction or discipline, provided for and punished by art. 571 c.p., consists in the inappropriate use of methods, tools and, However, corrective or educational behaviors, ordinarily permitted by general and sector regulations, as well as from pedagogical science. In the school environment, indeed, the educational or disciplinary power must always be exercised by means permitted and proportionate to the seriousness of the deviant behavior of the minor, without exceeding the limits set by the legal system or consisting of afflictive treatments of the personality of others, thus resulting that the use of violence for educational purposes cannot be included in the term 'correction' and that, then, the excess of violent means with alleged corrective purposes cannot be included in the case provided for by art. 571 c.p. (Cass. 13145/22).
