Caning. To cane. I’m interested in caning. In America, we have over 10,000,000 “incidents” a year involving young people under age 18, which we call “juvenile” in the state’s legal system. The Federal government does not have a juvenile law but instead uses 26 ½ years of age as the cut off for what they label as “youthful” offenders. A very large proportion of incidents are committed by repeat offenders. Our system relies on conversation or gentle persuasion to prevent or stop these offenses. Counseling is the American mantra for any disagreeable conduct.
I’m of the opinion that really petty offenses - loud noises - trashing a public place - breaking windows - petty thefts - boisterous conduct - which needs to be dealt with, but which costs too much under our current procedures. It seems to me that caning offers the perfect solution to a vexing problem.
Could you offer some comments on this system of swift and inexpensive justice?
