method of corporal punishment which consists of hitting the soles of a person's bare feet

Caning is a form of corporal punishment that consists of administering strikes (known as "strokes") to the body with what is typically a rattan cane. Generally, this is applied to the recipient's bare or clothed buttocks (see spanking); however, caning may also be applied to the soles of the feet (see bastinado), the palms of the hand, or the back of the thighs. Caning on the knuckles is considerably less common, and in rare instances it may be administered on the back, shoulders, or front of the body.
