It just depends on the severity of the crime and the punishment. In most cases I would say no, so that's what I'm voting. But when all else fails and someone simply can't be taught to be better, corporal punishment may be the only option. I will say that it doesn't teach morals, only fear of consequence. So it should never be the first thing to turn to. And even then, it shouldn't be particularly brutal.
Do you believe in corporal punishment?
