The last person to be birched in Britain was a 17-year-old boy who received the punishment in 1970. The practice of birching, which involved striking the offender with a birch rod, was officially abolished in England and Wales in 1948, but it continued in some cases until the early 1970s. This form of corporal punishment was viewed as outdated and inhumane, leading to its eventual discontinuation.
