    Delaware’s criminal code permitted floggings to occur until 1972. That year Governor Russell W. Peterson signed into law a revised criminal code in Delaware, which abolished the outdated punishment. With the passing of that act, Delaware became the last state in the nation to hold onto the pre-Revolutionary punishment. Flogging was last used in 1952 in the first-state, when a wife beater was flogged.
