Woman caught keying Tesla

Bring back the cane.
How about a hand removal?

Caning vandals and graffiti artists would go a long way to stopping this sort of 80% opportunistic crime because changing behaviour to avoid pain is an effective motivator And it’s much much cheap to administer that jail... heck the victim should have 1st dibs at whipping good

Like Malaysian Sharia law ? It might work, but then we would be up for the counselling costs of the guilty b******* for the rest of their lives.
Public humiliation, pain and hurt, unable to work or socialise, PTSD.
Geez, the First Fleet would have been 50% convicts and 50% psychologists if it arrived today.

Or this.....Coles and Woolies required to donate their rotten fruit & veg for the entertainment of the public.

Sadly the Do Gooders have the upper hand here and it's never going to revert back to Capital punishment due to the shite childhood they seem to have always had and the Judges take into account.

.....it's never going to revert back to Capital punishment.....

And nor should it....killing someone for a crime is somewhat over the top.

Nah. that's got way too much baggage. A simple caning for imple vandalism crimes isn't going to extreams... Lopping off ones hand as @gossy questioned is also too much...

Yep, and the hypothetical 'modern first fleet' composition would say all there needs to be said about how we've gone off track as a civilised society

Wonder if you'd think the same if it was your baby, sleeping in their pram, that was run over by some Gargasoulas type nut job.

In my view some people are beyond redemption and deserve to be forced organ doners though i do conceed that's a slippery slope

Public naming and shaming should be first and foremost, having "thief" or "rapist" or what ever crime you have been convicted off flashing over the top of your facebook page, your Linkin account and what ever other online profiles for a set period of time you have will soon have people thinking twice about their behaviour.

 

[Trevor loves holden.]

If found to be guilty and you have 100% documents and proof then I would say capital punishment will make people think twice of committing crimes such as rape and child sexual assaults which should be a given, those committing terror and murder who got life should be put down they are a drag on our taxes, 105k for a male per year, youth detention 145k, women 125k, that's around 30 people on a pension for a year, put the fair out there commit such crimes auto death sentence.

Prisoners should be made to work for their upkeep. No work, no food/blankets/heating etc. If I want to eat I have to work...
