corporal punishment noun [U]. âº the âphysical âpunishment of âpeople, âespecially of âchildren, by âhitting them. (Definition of corporal punishment from the Cambridge Advanced Learners Dictionary & Thesaurus Â© Cambridge University Press).
Corporal punishment goes by a variety of names including, but not limited to, beating, hitting, spanking, paddling, swatting, and caning.. Some of these terms are generic, others are specific to the severity of the punishment or the instrument used to inflict it.learly there are instances of abuse and of abusive physical punishment. But that is insufficient to demonstrate even a correlation between corporal punishment and abuse, and a fortiori a causal relationship. Research into possible links between corporal punishment and abuse has proved inconclusive so far.
