Corporal punishment is the practice of deliberately inflicting physical pain as a form of punishment. The most minor version is generally children getting a swat on the backside from their parents, while the opposite extreme can lead all the way to Cold-Blooded Torture. Note that it only counts as corporal punishment if it's legitimately inflicted — Police Brutality and the Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique are illegal, and thus don't qualify. A Dope Slap from one friend to another might count as an "informal" version, though, if you consider one's peers to be a legitimate authority. Somewhat common in fiction that takes place before 1960 or so (roughly), when this sort of thing started to be frowned on in most places. Before that it was accepted, even encouraged, as a form of discipline. Subtropes include: Amputative Sentencing Don't Make Me Take My Belt Off! Comedic Spanking Kinky Spanking Punctuated Pounding A Taste of the Lash Zen Slap Depending on the situation, corporal punishment can be played for comedy, horror, drama, or titillation. Most likely to be seen in military or school settings. They may be meted out by a Stern Nun. This does not mean a punishment issued by or to a low ranking NCO, though this can overlap with the actual meaning in a military setting. Nor does it refer to Krusty the Clown's third-ranked TV sidekick on The Simpsons. Also not to be confused with capital punishment. |

In Jago, Maurice Maskell's father routinely punished him with ten strokes of a leather riding whip. He takes pride in the fact that he's not the man his father was, and only gives his children the occasional smack. | |

Matilda has the sadistic headmistress employ corporal punishment at any chance she can get. She even once spins a girl around and throws her by her pigtails, a la the hammer throw. It's Refuge in Audacity, because her abuses are so arbitrary and awful that the children's parents don't believe anything they say about her. | |

In The Eyes of The Dragon, Prince Peter was whipped for saving the life of a crippled horse that was about to be put out of its misery by the Head Groom, Yosef. Although his father let him keep the horse, tradition demanded that the boy still be punished for interfering with his elders. King Roland decides to honor Peter by administering the whipping himself, although it pained him more than Peter (who was unable to sit for a week). Despite the fact that he was twenty years old, Dennis' mother anticipated that Brandon would do this to their son when the boy waited for his father to return home from the castle so that he could show him what he had found in the ash bucket. Fortunately, Brandon took the evidence seriously. |

Kamille from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam gets beaten up a lot. It doesn't help that he initially has no respect for authority and is a decent martial artist, on top of being a Gundam pilot. (Two of these times even reached Memetic Mutation status through the "ZETA PAUNCH" videos.) His girlfriend Fa got slapped twice by Emma after her disastrous first Action Girlfriend stint. | |

It gets worse at Hogwarts in Deathly Hallows, where Neville is basically covered in scars from the school year and Harry can't even recognize Seamus due to his injuries until Seamus speaks. The Death Eater supervisors would use the Cruciatus Curse on the students, pretty harsh considering the punishment for using the unforgivable curse used to be life in prison and its repeated use has been shown to be capable of making the victim lose their mind. | |

The Simpsons: In "Hurricane Neddy", Ned Flanders was completely unruly as a child due to his Beatnik parents refusing to discipline him. A therapist, Dr. Foster, chose to use the "University of Minnesota Spankalogical Protocol" which involved eight months of non-stop spanking. It got Ned to behave but it also taught him to completely repress all negative emotion and left him unable to healthily express his anger. "The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer" has Otto the bus driver suspendednote With pay! as a penalty for spanking Bart after the latter commandeered the bus earlier. In "Bart's Comet", Principal Skinner mentions offhand he'd once punished Bart with caning. In "Trash Of The Titans", after Homer leaves Springfield buried in trash, the whole town unanimously votes to have him horsewhipped for his failures as sanitation commissioner. |

In Goodbye, Mr. Chips, the title character is a retired school teacher whose career ran from the 1870s to the 1910s, and corporal punishment came with the territory. He recalls administering a "thrashing" to a boy caught falsifying his marks on a test, and on another occasion to a boy who climbed up onto the gym roof to retrieve a stray ball (with the implication that he considered a thrashing a good thing if it stopped the boy breaking his neck trying something similar in future). | |

Harry Potter features it more than once. In the early books, Argus Filch is constantly petitioning for permission to string troublemakers up with chains and other similarly pleasant things. It's mostly played for laughs. Umbridge uses this when she is named Headmaster in Order of the Phoenix. Particularly nasty is the "blood quill", which carves whatever the user writes into their hand as they write it. It gets worse at Hogwarts in Deathly Hallows, where Neville is basically covered in scars from the school year and Harry can't even recognize Seamus due to his injuries until Seamus speaks. The Death Eater supervisors would use the Cruciatus Curse on the students, pretty harsh considering the punishment for using the unforgivable curse used to be life in prison and its repeated use has been shown to be capable of making the victim lose their mind. Aunt Marge is also a big fan. She doesn't get to use it, however. Arthur Weasley performed it on his twin sons Fred and George after he caught them trying to make an Unbreakable Vow with their younger brother Ron. The punishment was such that it disfigured Fred's bottom. |

Monmouth of 100 Cupboards was regularly punished for stealing during his training as an apprentice wizard (the thefts were an attempt to learn more about his burgeoning Green Man powers, which would have gotten him killed if anyone had found out about them).

In an episode of King of the Hill, Peggy gets an unruly student in order by spanking him, but gets in trouble with the school. She then gets backed up by Cotton and his band of WWII vets as "Paddlin' Peggy" and becomes a local celebrity (important that for many parents at the time of the episode, paddlings in class were not a distant memory). This quickly goes to her head, to the point where she nearly spanks Joseph after she thinks he threw out her paddle (it was actually Dale, who saw how crazy she was acting and wanted to put a stop to it.). She snaps out of it by the end of the episode and even grinds up the paddle for mulch. Throughout the series, it's made clear that Hank, Kahn, and Dale don't approve of it for their children. Dale actually intervenes when Peggy is about to punish Joseph in the episode and Kahn and Hank find they agreed that "no dessert" is a more ideal punishment than spanking. In the case of Hank and Dale, there's a very good reason for it; they were apparently paddled in school when they were younger and it's implied in the aforementioned episode that they got it pretty bad, to the point that just hearing Peggy swing the paddle causes them (and Boomhauer and Bill) to involuntarily twitch as if they'd been struck. Bill's father apparently spanked him every day for eight years, seemingly for no actual reason. This is implied to be one of the many reasons Bill turned out as messed up as he is now. |

Fallen Into the Pit by Ellis Peters is set in the late 1940s, when corporal punishment was still a common occurrence in English schools.

Given the infamous temper of Donald Duck, you had better believe this shows up in older issues. In Donald's own comics, one of the most frequent endings to stories in which either the nephews cause trouble or Donald feels they "deserve" to be punished (unfairly or not) is either Donald chasing the nephews with a butt-whipping stick in hand, or the triplets recovering from being spanked. Ironically, in the comics with Scrooge McDuck, it's not unheard of for Donald himself to have to flee from his own angry uncle lest he get a spanking himself! At least one comic has both happen at the same time, with the triplets fleeing a stick-wielding Donald who is at the same time fleeing a cane-wielding Scrooge. | |

In The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, Howard Rockerduck briefly muses about whipping his rude, snobby Spoiled Brat of a son, John D. Rockerduck, who loudly protests against his father hanging out with "peasants". Later, an annoyed Howard sends his son to buy a horsewhip from the store. |

Heaven Help Us at a Catholic prep school a teacher uses a wooden board to beat the protagonist's hands in the middle of class. Later he uses a leather belt on a small group one at a time bent over a bench. Upset that one of them presents a written and valid exemption to this form of punishment, the teacher then starts beating him in the face with the belt. The protagonist then chases the teacher across campus where they crash a school assembly. The teacher attempts to beat him right there on the stage and gets punched out to the roar of the entire student body. | |

Gundam is extremely fond of having people beat on their subordinates, despite this having been disallowed in Real Life militaries for decades. Sometimes it's to knock some sense into them, but just as often it's just punishment for misdeeds. It gave birth to the "Bright Slap" meme. Ironically, despite the meme, the original "Bright Slap" in Mobile Suit Gundam actually just made things worse, as it provoked Amuro into abandoning the fight in a critical moment. Kamille from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam gets beaten up a lot. It doesn't help that he initially has no respect for authority and is a decent martial artist, on top of being a Gundam pilot. (Two of these times even reached Memetic Mutation status through the "ZETA PAUNCH" videos.) His girlfriend Fa got slapped twice by Emma after her disastrous first Action Girlfriend stint. Subverted in Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ: when Wong Lee tries to administer a "correction" to Judau, Judau responds by kneeing him in the gut and running off, saying that he doesn't have to take that kind of crap from self-important adults. Usso from Victory Gundam is at the receiving end once as well, after Team Dad Oliver severely reprimands him for almost getting captured due to his own imprudence. In Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, Lucrezia Noin got slapped by Lady Une for opposing to her very unethical orders. Une tried it again at the end of the episode when Noin snarked at her after said orders weren't carried out, but she blocked the slap and snarked at her again. Shinn from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny gets slapped around and punched by Athrun for disobeying orders. Shinn being Shinn, all it does is make him resentful. |

In The Prince of Tennis, while Tezuka prefers to punish unruly members via assigning laps (or other forced physical effort methods, in the case of Oishi punishing Momo and Kaidoh when they were first years), Sanada from Rikkaidai resorts to slapping his teamates around. So far he has slapped Jackal, Marui, and Kirihara for different transgressions. Subverted four times later: Kirihara keeps Sanada from slapping Yanagi via blocking the blow with his racket and vowing to win, Sanada declines to slap him when he can't keep that vow because he couldn't have done anything more, Sanada actually asks his teammates to slap him for losing his own matchnote Which is what saves him from being an unlikable jerk; his teammates all know that as hard as he is on them, he's ten times harder on himself. Both Yanagi and Kirihara explicitly ask for Sanada to hit them after they lose their matches. and in Shin Tenipuri Sanada tells Akutsu to slap him and gets punched to the floor instead. In the manga, Kirihara hangs a lampshade on Renji's seemingly always-closed eyes. This seems to be a pretty sore spot for Renji, who slaps him for being a Bratty Half-Pint. In the anime, Ryoma gets a slap to the face from Tezuka for being arrogant and rude during the Senbatsu arc. In the same arc, Kevin Smith gets slapped by his coach for talking back to him. In his backstory, Tezuka once was beaten by one of his sempai for talking back to him in public. He was actually hit in the elbow with a racket, which causes him a serious Game-Breaking Injury. When then-captain Yamato learned what happened, he made both Tezuka and the offending senior run laps for disrupting the practice. |

In The Wheel of Time series, this is known as Mortification of the Flesh, and is a possible penance for initiates of the White Tower, although hard labor is far more common. Since honor is a big deal in the setting, it is considered preferable to Mortification of the Spirit, i.e. public humiliation. When Mortification of the Flesh is administered, it's usually in the form of spankings, due to Author Appeal. | |

Pretty much a staple of British kids comics for many years. The standard punishment for Dennis the Menace (UK) up until the 1980s was getting "slippered" (spanked with a slipper), and the teachers in The Bash Street Kids once wielded canes against their rebellious students. | |

Case Closed: Conan himself was often subjected to a rather violent noogie by Kogoro Mouri, often sporting an egg-sized bump on the head in the following scene. The "gag", fortunately, more or less stopped midway in the series. Once, Heizo Hattori punched his teenaged son Heiji for interferring too much in an investigation and to fire him up for the rest of the case. Kogoro was rather displeased. |

Happens to Arya Stark at least twice, in A Clash of Kings of A Song of Ice and Fire fame. The first one is a punishment from Yorren for beating the crud out of two boys twice her age. The second one is the punishment by her sadistic overseer in Harrenhall for forgetting his orders. Happens to her sister Sansa in the same book, when a knight of the King's Guard, supposedly one of the best knights in the realm, beats her with the flat side of his sword on King Joffrey's orders. The knight also punches her in the stomach (while wearing his metal gauntlet). This is a particularly severe case of Corporal Punishment, and had it gone on for longer, (and it might well have had they not been interrupted) it might even count as a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown. Also notable is that Sansa had done absolutely nothing to deserve the punishment, and she is only being beaten because Joffrey is angry and wants someone to take it out on (and because he enjoys it.) |

In Peaky Blinders, the Shelby family matriarch Aunt Polly has no qualms about dishing out physical punishment on her (now adult) nephews if she feels they deserve it, and presumably carried out similar discipline on them when they were kids. She's rarely shown doing much more than slapping them however, which by 1920's parenting standards would be commonplace. Mind you, her Establishing Character Moment involves her hitting her 24-year-old nephew John so hard he falls over and brandishing a gun at him for effect - he had screwed up pretty badly though, getting drunk and leaving said gun loaded and within reach of the children, nearly causing a fatal accident. Under the circumstances they both seemed to feel that Polly's response was justified. | |

She refused to go home when Rooster and him tried to get her to, instead she wanted to get revenge on her father's killer. Rooster doesn't let him beat her for long though. He gets LaBoeuf to stop by pointing a gun at him. | |

The Book of Proverbs mentions a lot on punishing children in this manner. Specifically, Proverbs 23:13 and Proverbs 22:15, though the wording differs between translation, both imply corporal punishment keeps children in line and teaches them to behave. |

Averted, but at a terrible cost in the Aesop fable of "The Thief and His Mother." A boy steals a schoolbook and gives it to his mother. Instead of punishing him, she encourages him to do more stealing, which he does. As the boy grows up committing worse and worse crimes, he is finally arrested after murdering someone who witnessed his thievery. Sentenced to the gallows, his last wish is to whisper something into his weeping mother's ear. As soon as she gets close enough, he bites and tears her ear off. He then bitterly tells her, "If you had beaten me back when I first stole that schoolbook, I would not now be facing death by hanging!" | |

In Slam Dunk, Captain Akagi sometimes hits Sakuragi (and very occasionally, Miyagi or Rukawa) when fed up with his/their childish antics. It's almost always Played for Laughs, save for the time he slapped pre-Heel–Face Turn!Mitsui for trying to get the team disqualified. Right before the last one, when Kogure tries to talk the team's way out of Mitsui's attacks, Mitsui tells him to get the fuck out and slaps him across the face, but Kogure refuses to do it. | |

In The Jungle Book, both Baloo and Bagheera occasionally smack the young Mowgli for disobedience (and almost getting them killed), while in Just So Stories this is seen as the cure for the Elephant's Child's 'insatiable curiosity'. Different era and all that (and also, they're animals). | |

Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games is shocked by the enforcement of corporal punishment in District 12 during the second book, Catching Fire. According to Rue, from the farming and food production District, however, it is used regularly, particularly for those eating produce earmarked to be sent to the Capitol. | |

It's mentioned in Washio Sumi Is a Hero, the prequel Light Novel to Yuki Yuna is a Hero, that, while in the past teachers physically harming students to any degree was an issue, corporal punishment is allowed as long as it's not excessive. When Gin gets late to school, her teacher taps her on the head with the attendance sheet. | |

Akito Sohma from Fruits Basket often becomes physically violent towards other Sohmas, on top of being a Manipulative Bastard with uncontrollable Unstoppable Rages. The actual corporal punishment is played up much more in the 2001 anime, though - in the manga and 2019 anime, although there's more damage inflicted, Akito's "punishments" tend to be more psychological, with the worst physical beatings (like in Hatori, Isuzu and Kureno's cases) happening when Akito is at breaking point. | |

Little House on the Prairie takes place in late 19th century America and thus this is commonplace in the series. Kids get beaten for everything, even for things that would nowadays be considered unusual or abusive to punish, such as nine-year-old Almanzo being beaten after he almost drowned. | |

Ironically, despite the meme, the original "Bright Slap" in Mobile Suit Gundam actually just made things worse, as it provoked Amuro into abandoning the fight in a critical moment. | |

In Captain Tsubasa, Coach Kira's Training from Hell includes hitting Hyuga on the back with a stick to keep him from collapsing, and Coach Mikami once slaps Genzou to the ground for throwing a tantrum and trying to leave the Shutetsu team when Tsubasa, playing for Nankatsu, scores against him. Also, in the Shin manga Pierre slaps Napoleon in public for bragging about how he caused Souda to be expelled. | |

Seven Periods with Mr Gormsby: In episode one, one of the objections raised to hiring Gormsby is that he has used his swagger-stick in the past to administer corporal punishment; on a teacher! Gormsby does threaten Hohepa with a thrashing, but is told that such a thing is now illegal. His subsequent punishments are far more creative in nature. | |

Starship Troopers uses A Taste of the Lash as actual judicial punishment assigned by a court martial, and also discusses the fact that any corporal punishment (from a Dope Slap to a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown to summary execution) is legal as long as the punisher can demonstrate that it was necessary and reasonable. Corporal punishment also exists in the civilian justice system in the novel. Minor crimes, such as drunk driving, are usually punished with the accused being publicly lashed behind the courthouse immediately after being found guilty. Major crimes such as kidnapping or murder are punishable by immediate execution (usually by hanging). It's also mentioned that teachers and headmasters at schools have the authority to use corporal punishment on students who break school rules. Heinlein advocated corporal punishment in his books generally. Nothing excessive, mind you (from his perspective), just a little paddling now and then to set a child straight. Or a woman. Men might need to be caned. If you didn't just hang them. But never put someone in prison; that insults human dignity. |
