Why did corporal punishment start?

I suppose because physical pain and humiliation were traditional recompense for transgressions, as well as a possible deterrent to future transgressions. If you read the Bible, whipping is mentioned in the Old Testament, and in the New Testament too, although preachers probably do not talk of it much. It is still used in many parts of the world, but not in the West anymore, gradually phased out as cruel in the 1800's and early 1900's.


Did ppl have a long wooden stick was used to hit children as a punishment in Victorian times?

Yes, during Victorian times, corporal punishment was commonly used as a disciplinary method for children, including in schools and homes. A long wooden stick, often referred to as a "cane," was frequently employed by teachers and parents to administer physical punishment. This practice reflected the era's strict attitudes toward discipline and authority, though it has since been widely criticized and abandoned in modern educational and parenting approaches.


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)

What is bastinado?

Bastinado is a form of corporal punishment in which the soles of someone's feet are beaten with an object (usually a cane, rod, or leather strap). This apparently hurts a lot more than you might expect, but is relatively undamaging physically in the long run.
