Eh, TBF i feel that specific example has more to do with the stigma against physical punishment.

The west has a massive stigma against any form of direct physical punishment. Which is why the only punishments we have are various forms of confinement, monetary fines, or forced service. Yes there is the death penalty as well but even that has been heavily fought over (rightly and wrongly).
