Was corporal and capitol punishment popular during the Age of Enlightenment?
Paradoxically, both capital and corporal punishment were at their height during the age of enlightenment. People were hanged for crimes that would be regarded today as petty - e.g. thefts. Corporal punishment (whipping) with the birch or the cat'o nine tails was the punishment for all other crimes that did not invoke the death penalty - e.g. prostitutes, vagrancy etc.

What is the difference between capital punishment and corporal punishment?
"capital punishment is the death sentence, you get a lethal injection for a horrible crime. corporal punishment is getting spanked or something..." Oh my God...seriously? Being "spanked" is NOT a corporal punishment. That is a child being disciplined for doing something they should not being doing. And as long as there are no bruises or worst, it is not illegal or harmful to a child. Capital Punishment IS the death sentence including-but limited to-hanging, electrocution, or a lethal injection. Before and around the 1700s, there were a lot more ways of execution, but since the Eighth Amendment was ratified to have more "humane" ways of putting an offender to death, there are only hanging (in one or two states now, electrocution (which I believe may only be done in Texas now), and lethal injection which is mainly done in the states that still have the death penalty. Corporal Punishment is no longer legally used in the U.S. or in most countries. It is purposely inflicted bodily harm including whipping, cutting off a body part, being burned, etc. It was mainly exercised in Europe and in public to show power for the King/Queen and to keep people from committing crimes. It was never used to embarrass or shame the offender, but to keep them from a repeat offense and to set them on a positive path. (Criminal Justice Major)

Is corporal punishment a justifiable method of punishing adult criminals?
As far as I'm concerned, that's a matter of opinion, not fact. Some will tell you that corporal punishment (or capital punishment as it's sometimes known as) is a perfectly acceptable form of punishment and that often times it is used to make the punishment fit the crime as in the case of murder. However, some believe that capital punishment is wrong and that just because one person caused another person pain, they deserve forgiveness rather than the same punishment in return. There is also the argument for rehabilitation as opposed to pain. Often times the prospect of spending many years in prison will deter a person far more than just corporal punishment alone. I'm afraid this is the best answer I can give you. Again, this topic is based entirely in opinion, not in fact. No one can truly say they have the correct answer to weather corporal punishment is justifiable. I believe that Corporal Punishment is right if it fits the crime. It's not to get back at the person who did the evil deed, but it is a noted fact by stats that most criminals (murder, rape, etc.) get right back out on the street and do it all over again. How often have we seen people leave prison over and over and re offend ... plenty! Then the public end up howling like a pack of wolves and asking the question, "Why was he released?" The prisons are over-flowing and, if without a doubt the criminal has committed a crime that requires Corporal Punishment then this is the way it should be done. I do believe executions should be carried out in a humane method or otherwise we become no better than they are. There seems to be some confusion in the terms, corporal punishment is the act of punishing or disciplining someone by physical means. Capital punishment is another term used for the death penalty. Having said that, my answer would be an unequivocal, NO! for too many reasons to go into here. Mackey is absolutely correct and I did make a mistake. I don't believe in torture of another human being and each country has it's own was of corporal punishment (so I have found out.) At one time (even today) spanking children is under the heading of corporal punishment and I say yes if it's the last resort and that means a spanking on the butt without the use of anything but the palm of one's hand. From Canadian Law (Also American in many States): Such debates, however, do not always lead to the banning of domestic corporal punishment and The Supreme Court of Canada recently reaffirmed the right of a parent or guardian to use corporal punishment on children between the ages of two and twelve; this decision was contentious, being based upon S.43 of the Canadian Criminal Code, a provision enacted in 1892. [3] Similarly, despite some opposition to corporal punishment in the USA, spanking children is legal, with some states explicitly allowing it in their law and 22 US states allowing its use in public schools. A ban has been proposed in Massachusetts, on all corporal punishment of children, including by parents, and a series of laws in Minnesota severely restrict the use of corporal punishment of children.
