Perhaps you should try some spelling variations:
"physical punishments" » "unusual punishments", "physical amusements", "physical assessments"
"capital punishments" » "capital punishment"
"public punishments" » "public punishment"

You may be able to get more results by adjusting your search query.

• If you are trying to use Boolean operators, they must be ALL CAPS: (((((("physical punishments") OR ("capital punishments"))) OR ("physical punishment"))) OR ("public punishments")).
• The words AND, OR and NOT may confuse the search; try adding quotes: "((((((\"physical punishments\") OR (\"capital punishments\"))) or (\"physical punishment\"))) or (\"public punishments\"))".
• Removing quotes may allow a broader search: (((((( physical punishments ) OR ( capital punishments ))) or ( physical punishment ))) or ( public punishments )).
• Adding a wildcard symbol may retrieve word variants: (((((("physical punishments") OR ("capital punishments"))) or ("physical punishment"))) or ("public punishments"))*.
