  1. Belting

    Belting is the use of belts made of strong materials as a whip-like instrument for corporal punishment. It is most often associated with educational institutions where it has been used as disciplinary measure but it has also been applied domestically by parents. This practice has now been abolished by most schools, at least in the Western world, as it is seen by many as abusive and excessive punishment, though many parents, especially fathers, still belt their children. The punisher might use his own belt or the one worn by the person to be punished, indeed in the mid-19th century many boys were made to wear a belt by their parents, in part to be used as a punishment device and as a permanent reminder; in other cases, especially in an institutional context, a separate belt is kept solely for disciplinary use, and possibly displayed, again as a warning. The difference with a strapping, although in practice both terms are also used unprecisely as synonyms, is that a strap is harder, made from heavier and/or thicker leather, and may be specially made for discipline and have a handle, unlike a 'real' belt.
