82. I am fine with your suggestion, if it were to turn out that way, and not incarceration.
Better even that the punishment should fit the crime, ie
the perpetrators have to undergo what they made the victim undergo, in addition to community service. Except tenfold. Ten buckets on each of their heads of the foulest sewage available. Public humiliation of some kind, such that their crime is visible to all. I agree that a stern talking to or wag of the finger is pointless. But how do you make someone understand what they have done? Such that they truly understand, and feel authentic regret? Punishment rarely is effective in that regard. It just makes people better at hiding their crimes. Liars become better liars. The potential for rehabilitation has to compete with the natural urge to retaliate against the one who punishes, or authority in general. The punished don't usually learn how it feels to be their victim. That's what's needed, for them to know how it feels. |
