As with so man...Viewed the good professor on SunTV. As with so many academics, he "studies" people but doesn't KNOW people.<br /><br />His idea,essentially,is that minor criminals be caned,Singapore style,then let loose.<br /><br />It wouldn't work,wouldn't deter one small-time gangsta one little bit,and the reason is the jailhouse macho attitude.<br /><br />Every two-bit dope dealer, B&E artist,and car thief will gladly take "six of the best" if it means no jail time.<br /><br />Jail time is down time in their business,and the sooner they can get out,the better. It would become a status symbol to have been flogged numerous times,and the "boys" would not be deterred from their low life ways one iota.<br /><br />The professor makes the usual mistake of assuming physical violence is as abhorrent to everyone else as it is to genteel HIM. No such luck.<br /><br /><br />Make the flogging the old British Navy type,where 25 lashes were administered with a cat o' nine tails,and it would have some deterrent effect,but today's Correctional Services mandarins would have heart failure watching the brutality of it all,so it would never be considered.<br /><br />We'd better just stick to the current rehabilitation regimen,where a mild tongue lashing is the only thing remotely resembling barbaric "corporal punishment".<br /><br />We ARE a society of pussies.dmorrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00068077596719584731noreply@blogger.com
