| 单词 | Corporal punishment |
| 释义 | 體罰 Punishment inflicted on the body, especially by beating. See also Death penalty; Punishment. Criminal law - The infliction of physical pain upon a person’s body as punishment for a crime. Corporal punishment includes flogging, branding, mutilation and the use of immobilising instruments such as stock and pillory. Corporal punishment has been outlawed in Hong Kong: Probation of Offenders Ordinance (Cap 298) s 3(1). But in other jurisdictions, most notably that of Singapore, it is still practised. See also Capital punishment; Punishment. Education - Physical punishment of students in school education; it was abolished in 1991. No teacher is permitted to administer corporal punishment to a pupil: Education Regulations (Cap 279A) r 58. Any teacher who contravenes this regulation commits an offence: rr 101(7), 102. Since abolition of corporal punishment, only reasonable restraint upon a child is permissible by way of prevention or as punishment of disorderly conduct. Family law - The disciplinary of children in schools and at home by the infliction of mild physical pain. Parents may lawfully discipline their children in a reasonable manner: Gillick v West Norfolk and Wisbech Area Health Authority [1986] AC 112, [1985] 3 All ER 402 (HL). An act is not an assault if it is done in the course of lawful correction of a child by a parent: R v Conner (1836) 7 C & P 438. Reasonable and moderate correction appropriate to the age of the child is permitted but excessive correction may amount to an assault or, if the child dies, manslaughter: R v Griffin (1869) 11 Cox CC 402. What is an appropriate level of correction must be measured by Hong Kong standards although, where persons come to Hong Kong some account may be taken of what may be considered reasonable by their standard: R v Derriviere [1969] 53 Cr App Rep 637 (CA); Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong, Vol 9, Criminal Law and Procedure [130.352]. 對身體作出懲罰，由其指鞭打。另見 Death penalty; Punishment。 刑法 - 使某人的肉體受到痛楚作為犯罪的懲罰。體罰包括笞刑、烙刑、斷肢刑及使用如足枷及頸手枷的固定工具。體罰在香港已被法律所禁止：《罪犯感化條例》（第298條）第3(1)條。但在其他司法管轄區，較顯著的有新加坡，仍然實施體罰。另見 Capital punishment; Punishment。 教育 - 學校對學生施行身體上的懲罰；已於1991年被廢除。教員不得向學生施行體罰：《教育規例》（第279A章）第58條 。任何教員違反此規例，即屬犯罪：第101(7)條、第102條。自廢除體罰後，只容許合理地約束兒童，即以防止或懲罰兒童作出不檢行為的方式約束。 家庭法 - 在學校或家裏使子女身體受到輕微痛楚的紀律處分。在法律上，身為父母可以以合理形式紀律處分其子女：Gillick v West Norfolk and Wisbech Area Health Authority [1986] AC 112, [1985] 3 All ER 402（上議院）。父或母合法糾正子女過失時所作出的作為， 並不算是襲擊：R v Conner (1836) 7 C & P 438。合理和適度的糾正，祇要能夠與有關子女的年齡相符合，是可以容許的，但超乎適度的糾正則可構成襲擊，又或如果令致子女死亡，則構成誤殺：R v Griffin (1869) 11 Cox CC 402。至於怎樣糾正才算適度， 則必須以香港的標準來衡量；但如果有關人士是外地來香港的，則可考慮該有關人士所屬國家所認為的標準：R v Derriviere [1969] 53 Cr App Rep 637（英國上訴法院）; Halsbury`s Laws of Hong Kong，第9冊，刑法及刑事訴訟程序，第[130.352]段。 |
