I was spanked regularly as a child, and it was a great deterrent. My parents were very consistent, and usually threatened before they did it. I don't see any issue with it. The physical pain was minimal but the anxiety before the act was what brought on the most fear.
Its quick and effective, and doesn't do any harm other than a few seconds of pain.
For those who feel its criminal abuse, come on! Mind your own business and raise your kids however you like.
