Rejected petition Bring back Corporal Punishment!
Rejected on
I propose that the belt/cane be re-introduced in schools, that the birch be introduced as mandatory punishment for rioters and looters, and that communities have the option to demand public stocks also be re-introduced for these types of crimes.
