Defense is beating someone who's attacking you back.

Hoping someone aged 13 gets beaten up in jail is not defence, it's seeking vengence.

My point about the 50 years difference is that we can't simplify it into "Corporal punichment = well behaved children, alternative punishment = unruly" - there are many many many more factors to explain it... which I'll admit even I can't fully.

I would say, however, it's probably quite naive to suggest there was no bullying, or a dramatically lower level of bullying 50 years ago - one of the many changes are that these issues are spotted, children have become more integral members of society - their purchasing influencing force alone makes them absolutely essential to the current society (not something I neccessarily agree with, just adding another pointer).
