What are your thoughts on this controversial topic?
In countries where the death penalty and other forms of "brutal" punishments are in place they see less crime because people fear the consequences.
In the UK no one fears or respects the law, rather they laugh in the face of it. I have asked older people what the feelings were towards the police when they were kids, and in general there was respect.
I work in a busy town center and I see people get aggressive and violent with the police. Would these people not be better dealt with by getting a good smack?
