Abstract: Theories form the bases of understanding phenomena. This research explores the theoretical framework of corporal punishment and its alternatives as strategies for behaviour modification. It brings to light the influence of three main theories namely restorative discipline, positive psychology and retributive discipline on the use of corporal punishment and its alternative strategies as a way of controlling misbehaviours in school. Conclusions are drawn based on the influence of these theories to give understanding on the ongoing debate in support for and against the use of corporal punishment and its alternatives in society. It was recommended that for a successful implementation of any discipline policy, the theoretical basis of it should be understood by the policy makers and explained to the implementers of the policy.
