The present paper focuses on the topic of punishment of minors, seeking a minimum consensus regarding the definition of physical and psychological punishment. The definition of these terms and the consequences derived from the application of the punishment bear immeasurable importance for processing this matter. This paper uses various legal systems in an insatiable search of solutions and perspectives on this theme, with the aim of reaching an answer adequate to the times and to the Portuguese society. We conclude with a presentation of theories regarding the justification and exclusion of illegality, followed by their advantages and disadvantages and by our stance on the matter.
