Deterrent factor... if people knew what they had coming to them for a specific crime, they'd think twice. Steal-- lose your hand. rape-- lose your falus. Murder-- lose your life. Simple concept, really.

If a Government authorises capital punishments for crimes, or for those found guilty of crimes, it leaves open a possibility to be scared of the Government... and the monster it may become.
A confident society of Government, Police and Law, uses a due process to identify guilt - and if guilty applies an appropriate punishment... with removing the person's freedom currently being the most humane and fitting way.
The Government, Police and Law shouldn't lower themselves to inficting butchery on guilty people themselves... else the lines get blurred as to who is the real criminal, and they may get a taste for such butchery on citizens.

The reason this is done actually has another meaning, especially in the Middle East.
They do everything with their right hand: eat, write, shake hands, etc...
The only thing they do with their left hand is wipe after going to the bathroom.
If convicted of theft, they have the RIGHT hand removed so they would be publicly disgraced because they now have to eat with the same hand they wipe with.

The problem is that we would have a nation of one-handed lawyers and politicians.
No, I personally believe that chopping off someones hand is barbaric and causes them to struggle to lead a normal life
Chop of their heads, that's the humane solution.

Asking whether or not theives should get thier hands cut off is like asking if a rapest should get their pecker cut off (assuming its a male). I honestly would have to say that there is a better way of handleing things but i would say cut it off. Cuz i dont need them touching my stuff, and for rapests i dont need the touching my wife or daughter either!

If you cut off the hands of every person who stole in their life time, we would be a nation with out hands. If you want to start hacking off body parts for crimes, start with rapist.

Maybe on the third strike - then let the victims whack off the hands.

I think that cutting your hand off is far too barbaric, America is a free country and we should have ALL of our body parts. If we did this imagine how much of a rebellion it would cost.
