A badge of shame, also a symbol of shame, mark of shame, or simply a stigma, is typically a distinctive mark or token on a person deemed as worthy of public humiliation or persecution, and required to bear a distinguishing sign in public or in captivity. The yellow badge that Jews were required to wear in parts of Europe during the Middle Ages, and later in Nazi Germany and German–occupied Europe, was intended to be a badge of shame. The term may also refer to other identifying marks that are associated with shame. The biblical "Mark of Cain" can be interpreted as synonymous with a badge of shame. The term is also used metaphorically, especially in a pejorative sense, to characterize something associated with a person or group as shameful.

  • Ein Schandmal ist ein an einer Person nach außen hin sichtbares Zeichen der Schande, das als Strafe für ein Vergehen oder Verbrechen verordnet wird. In den meisten Ländern der Welt werden solche stigmatisierenden Formen der Bestrafung nicht mehr angewendet. Schandmale können nach einer Verurteilung entweder in einer bestimmten Kleidungskennzeichnung oder, wenn sie im Rahmen von Körperstrafen ausgesprochen werden, in Form von Amputationen oder der Zufügung von Narben zur Anwendung kommen. Zweck eines Schandmales ist auf der einen Seite die Bestrafung selbst, die durch die öffentliche Sichtbarmachung soziale Diskriminierung mit einschließen kann und im Fall von Körperstrafen mit der Zufügung von Schmerzen verbunden ist. Auf der anderen Seite kann durch ein Schandmal eine Warnung der Mitbewohner vor einem Verurteilten zum Ausdruck gebracht werden. Oft besteht ein sichtbarer Zusammenhang zwischen einem begangenen Vergehen oder Verbrechen und der Art des Schandmals. Beispiel: Amputation der rechten Hand bei Dieben in manchen arabischen Ländern.
