DEFINITION

Verb

To cane as a form of punishment, usually in reference to judicial caning.

由来

打鞭是新加坡刑事法典 (Penal Code) 中的一项刑罚。
鞭刑只能施行在医学上能接受打鞭的男性罪犯身上，对于女性犯罪人及50岁以上的男性犯罪人则不适用。成年人最多可被判处鞭24下，未成年人士则是最多十下。
在打鞭时，行刑者用直径不超过1.27厘米的藤杖抽打犯罪人的臀部。只有新加坡最高法院有权力对未成年男性判处鞭刑
打鞭期间，必须有一名医务人员在场，以证明犯罪人的身体状况可以承受打鞭。如果医务人员证明犯罪人身体不健康，则必须在执行过程中停止抽打。

ETYMOLOGY

Caning is a form of corporal punishment under Singapore’s Penal Code.
It is only carried out on male offenders up to the age of 50 who are medically fit to undergo the punishment. Adults may be sentenced to a maximum of 24 strokes, while juveniles may only be sentenced to a maximum of 10 strokes.
The official responsible for carrying out the punishment uses a rattan cane to cane the offender’s bare buttocks.
A medical officer is present during the caning to certify that the offender is in a fit state of health to be caned. Caning is discontinued if the medical officer certifies that the offender is not in a fit state of health to undergo the remainder of the sentence.
