The spanking ceremony is performed by the school's Discipline Master, with a minimum of two strokes across the buttocks for each offender.

It could also be administered by staff who were not officially authorised to administer formal corporal punishment, i.e. the cane.

Second, each specimen receives an implanted microchip, called a passive integrated transponder, which identifies individual animals. Genetic fingerprinting has been used to assess the genetic diversity of a captive population at a Singapore fish farm to improve the management of this species. DNA markers that distinguish among different strains and between sexes have been identified, allowing aquaculturists to identify these characteristics in immature animals. According to author Emily Voigt, the arowana has been cause for kidnappings, canings and even murder.

22 In Abenteuer eines Junggesellen Busch illustrates a form of nonviolent progressive education that fails in one scene, and caning in the following scene; the canings that ensued indicate Busch's pessimistic picture of life, which has its roots in the Protestant ethic of the nineteenth century,Mihr, pp. 27–40, 61–70 in which he believed that humans are inherently evil and will never master their vices. Civilisation is the aim of education, but it can only mask human instincts superficially.Pietzcker, p.

Lawrence Waddy took over as headmaster in 1949. The Tonbridge he inherited was still a largely Victorian institution; fagging and ritual caning were still in place, and sport was considered more important than academia. Over the next 40 years personal fagging was abolished (ending in 1965), and the intellectual life of the school was revitalised (particularly under the headmastership of Michael McCrum). McCrum, headmaster from 1962–70, abolished the right of senior boys to administer corporal punishment, taking over for himself the duty of administering routine canings.

Evening classes were now expected to be financially self-sufficient. However, Brereton was determined to maintain the spirit of the Village College, of an uplifting environment and a caring community. Canings were also phased out and the school embraced instead a new era of technology. During the 1970s and the 1980s, many new buildings such as the English block, the gymnasium, the technology block (including the drama studio) and the science block were added onto the original school buildings to accommodate the new subjects that would be taught at the school as a comprehensive school.

The punishment is applied to foreigners and locals alike. Two examples of the caning of foreigners which received worldwide media scrutiny are the canings in Singapore in 1994 of Michael P. Fay, an American student who had vandalised several automobiles, and in the United Arab Emirates in 1996 of Sarah Balabagan, a Filipina maid convicted of homicide. Caning is also used in the Singapore Armed Forces to punish serious offences against military discipline, especially in the case of recalcitrant young conscripts. Unlike judicial caning, this punishment is delivered to the soldier's clothed buttocks.

According to a 1976-1977 survey done by the Inner London Inspection Authority's Inspectors, almost 1 in 5 girls were caned at least once in the authority's schools alone. Caning in all-girls schools were rarer but not unseen. Caning in British state schools in the later 20th century was often, in theory at least, administered by the head teacher only. Canings for primary school age pupils at state schools in this period could be extremely rare; one study found that over an eight-year timespan, one head teacher had only caned two boys in total, but made more frequent use of slippering, while another had caned no pupils at all.

Judicial caning, administered with a long, heavy rattan and much more severe than the canings given in schools, was/is a feature of some British colonial judicial systems, though the cane was never used judicially in Britain itself (the specified implements there, until abolition in 1948, being the birch and the cat-o'-nine-tails). In some countries caning is still in use in the post- independence era, particularly in Southeast Asia (where it is now being used far more than it was under British rule), and in some African countries.

Canings from prefects took place for a wide variety of failings, including lack of enthusiasm in sport, or to enforce youngsters' participation in character-building aspects of public school life, such as compulsory cold baths in winter. Some British private schools still permitted caning to be administered by prefects in the 1960s, with opportunities for it provided by complex sets of rules on school uniform and behaviour. In 1969, when the question was raised in Parliament, it was thought that relatively few schools still permitted this. As early as the 1920s, the tradition of prefects at British public schools repeatedly caning new boys for trivial offences was criticised by psychologists as producing "a high state of nervous excitement" in some of the youngsters subjected to it.

As Purley High School for Boys it was a senior secondary school, for students aged 14 to 18. Purley High School had a reputation for strictness and for the frequent use of corporal punishment; records showing a peak in canings of 43.7 per 100 pupils in the year 1977/78.

African countries still using judicial caning include Botswana, Tanzania, Nigeria (mostly in northern states, but few cases have been reported in southern statesArticle 18 of the Criminal Code ACt 1916; Article 386(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act 1945.) and, for juvenile offenders only, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. Other countries that used it until the late 20th century, generally only for male offenders, included Kenya, Uganda and South Africa, while some Caribbean countries such as Trinidad and Tobago use birching, another punishment in the British tradition, involving the use of a bundle of branches, not a single cane. alt=A wooden stand of two triangular portions with a padded brace between them on a black pedestal.

It was felt that granting untrained and unsupervised older adolescents the power to impose comprehensive thrashings on their younger schoolmates whenever they chose might have adverse psychological effects. Like their British counterparts, South African private schools also gave prefects free rein to administer canings whenever they felt it appropriate, from at least the late 19th century onwards. South African schools continued to use the cane to emphasise sporting priorities well into the late 20th century, caning boys for commonplace gameplay errors such as being caught offside in an association football match, as well as for poor batting performance in cricket, not applauding their school team's performance sufficiently, missing sport practice sessions, or even "to build up team spirit". The use of corporal punishment within the school setting was prohibited by the South African Schools Act of 1996.

Midshipman Philip Tyre was posted to Hibernia at Hope Nation as first midshipman, as the ship at the time had only two midshipmen and two cadets, and of the midshipmen Derek Carr had been a civilian only a few months previously. Although a courteous and efficient officer while dealing with his superiors, Tyre's dealings with his subordinates in the wardroom were little short of tyrannical, assigning demerits to his juniors too fast to work off, and thus effectively sentencing them to repeated canings. The resultant plummeting morale of the midshipmen, along with Tyre's inability to understand why his behaviour was causing such trouble, ultimately led Seafort to promote Alexi Tamarov to Lieutenant with orders to 'put things back in order'. With such orders Tamarov dealt out to Tyre the same treatment Tyre had given the other midshipmen, dealing out demerits and frequently ordering the first midshipman caned.

Caning with a heavy judicial rattan as used in Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei can leave scars for years if a large number of strokes are inflicted. Most ordinary canings with a typical light rattan (used at home or at school for punishing students), although painful at the time, leave only reddish welts or bruises lasting a few days. Charles Chenevix Trench was caned as a boy at Winchester College in the early 1930s and later said that "it was, of course, disagreeable, but left no permanent scars on my personality or my person". When caning was still widespread in schools in the United Kingdom, it was perceived that a caning on the hand carried a greater risk of injury than a caning on the buttocks; in 1935 an Exeter schoolboy won £1 in damages (), plus his medical expenses, from a schoolmaster, when the county court decided that an abscess that developed on his hand was the result of a caning.

See "Top CP schools: Purley High School for Boys" at World Corporal Punishment Research. Its record on canings came to the attention of STOPP during the 1970s and 1980s. This was because STOPP happened to be based in Croydon at the time, and managed to get the Local Education Authority to publish an analysis of statistics collated from school punishment books, the first time this had happened in the UK. This resulted in Purley High School for Boys being mentioned in numerous articles in the national press regarding what was criticised as its excessive corporal punishment record. However, statistics for the use of corporal punishment later appeared from other areas of England and Wales, suggesting that Purley's caning record, compared with some other boys' secondary schools, was not quite as extraordinary as STOPP had originally claimed, once the fact that Purley was a 14–18 school (and therefore had about twice the proportion of 14- to 16-year-olds as an 11–18 school) was taken into account, 14–16 being almost invariably the peak age group for getting into trouble at school.
