Most types of corporal (i.e. physical) punishment are named after the implement or apparatus used to inflict the punishment. To avoid duplication, only one entry per type of punishment is linked here, e.g. "caning" and not "cane"; "strap" and not "strapping".

As spanking implements may be used on areas of the body other than the buttocks, they "are marked for both that subcategory and this category".
