I do believe that some other countries actions or ways of dealing with crime are effective. Caning, cutting off the hand of a thief, castration of a sex crime offender, (Done voluntarily in some States already) etc. Obvisouly none of these methods is perfect, but the system we have in place now is not, and does not work!

What do you work for the justice system in some way, like at a prison or something? what do you know? :D
I think kids in this country would have a lot more respect for things if they got their asses beat publically like in singapore. It would have been nice if our response as a nation to that stupid little shit in the 90s was "Beat his ass. Give him 2 extra whacks for us. And let that be a lesson to you here in America. Shape up or we'll start beating you too."
