Answer to my questions

What is the difference between corporal punishment and capital punishment?

The word ‘corporal punishment’ comes from the Latin word meaning body. On the other hand, ‘capital punishment’ comes from the Latin word the head.

Corporal punishment is a type of physical punishment and it includes flogging, canning, mutilation, and branding. It is not only apply to criminals but to all offenders because it varies to a mild one to a harsh one. It could be applied to a child, to a prisoner, and to anyone who offensive.

Capital punishment is to execute to punish someone for committing a very serious crime. It can only be applied by a proper legal trial. So there are some countries that capital punishment does not exist.
