Write a 8 pages paper on corporal punishment used in other countries. It is not that such similar practices of corporal punishment were not prevalent in other religions of the world but they have been banned and new substitutes have taken their place.
Capital punishment is still there in many countries but it is awarded in rarest of the rare cases. The word ‘capital’ comes straight from the Latin word capitalis, “of the head”. It is not awarded in an open full public view. Reasons for change in the methods of execution are based on human consideration, which otherwise is a different issue.
Barbaric methods of awarding corporal punishment are still being practiced, particularly in states lacking in democratic values. In Saudi Arabia, Sandy Mitchell, a Scotsman, faced crucifixion. He was beaten and tortured until he agreed that he had committed the crime, which he didn’t in 2003. Beheading in public is a common thing in Saudi Arabia but crucifixion is awarded rarely but the saddest part of the story is that it is awarded under the Islamic law for petty crimes like highway robbery. There is no justification for awarding such a severe punishment to robbers. It is, otherwise, a general practice to cut either of a hand or foot for committing robbery. According to Amnesty International reports, 2000, in Saudi Arabia, they award the punishment of cutting off one hand or foot for ordinary crimes and ‘cross’ or alternate cutting for harsher crimes (Arlandson, 2005).
Corporal punishment was awarded in ancient Greece, ancient Israel and early Rome in many forms including beheading and stoning among a number of other ways of punishing early crime. In Rome, arsonists were burned to death but in modern times, such practices are not prevalent in these nations. Capital punishment is still awarded in the rest of the world but common approved methods have been electrocution, poison gas, hanging and firing squad but beheading was, and still in some Muslim nations, is a common .way of awarding capital punishment.
