Title: Public Punishment
Post by: jay on September 26, 2011, 06:11:31 AM
It has been suggested that we have some form of public punishment in Youngstown.

Would public punishment deter some forms of crime?

What would be an appropriate form of public punishment?


Examples from the internet

it is said that this was used when children were being naughty for public humiliation."

I LOVE IT JAY ! ! !  What do you think Judges especially Delic (sp?) would have to say?  It would probably BACK FIRE and we would have people just committing crime to be punished publicly - the ACLU would have a huge field day  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: and the crime would escalate.  ::)
