Forget the canings and stocks. Go directly to hanging.
“Forget the canings and stocks. Go directly to hanging.”
Stepped system. Simple crimes get stocks. Worse crimes/repeaters get canings, with those in the stocks watching. Worst crimes get hanging, with the stocked and caned watching. They get to see what the end of the line for them looks like.
All of the above done publicly, in city squares, on Saturday afternoons.
Thugs & punks don’t like humiliation at all.
