Did Miss Caroline resort to corporal punishment on the first day of class in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Is corporal punishment a justifiable method of punishing adult criminals?

As far as I'm concerned, that's a matter of opinion, not fact. Some will tell you that corporal punishment (or capital punishment as it's sometimes known as) is a perfectly acceptable form of punishment and that often times it is used to make the punishment fit the crime as in the case of murder. However, some believe that capital punishment is wrong and that just because one person caused another person pain, they deserve forgiveness rather than the same punishment in return. There is also the argument for rehabilitation as opposed to pain. Often times the prospect of spending many years in prison will deter a person far more than just corporal punishment alone. I'm afraid this is the best answer I can give you. Again, this topic is based entirely in opinion, not in fact. No one can truly say they have the correct answer to weather corporal punishment is justifiable. I believe that Corporal Punishment is right if it fits the crime. It's not to get back at the person who did the evil deed, but it is a noted fact by stats that most criminals (murder, rape, etc.) get right back out on the street and do it all over again. How often have we seen people leave prison over and over and re offend ... plenty! Then the public end up howling like a pack of wolves and asking the question, "Why was he released?" The prisons are over-flowing and, if without a doubt the criminal has committed a crime that requires Corporal Punishment then this is the way it should be done. I do believe executions should be carried out in a humane method or otherwise we become no better than they are. There seems to be some confusion in the terms, corporal punishment is the act of punishing or disciplining someone by physical means. Capital punishment is another term used for the death penalty. Having said that, my answer would be an unequivocal, NO! for too many reasons to go into here. Mackey is absolutely correct and I did make a mistake. I don't believe in torture of another human being and each country has it's own was of corporal punishment (so I have found out.) At one time (even today) spanking children is under the heading of corporal punishment and I say yes if it's the last resort and that means a spanking on the butt without the use of anything but the palm of one's hand. From Canadian Law (Also American in many States): Such debates, however, do not always lead to the banning of domestic corporal punishment and The Supreme Court of Canada recently reaffirmed the right of a parent or guardian to use corporal punishment on children between the ages of two and twelve; this decision was contentious, being based upon S.43 of the Canadian Criminal Code, a provision enacted in 1892. [3] Similarly, despite some opposition to corporal punishment in the USA, spanking children is legal, with some states explicitly allowing it in their law and 22 US states allowing its use in public schools. A ban has been proposed in Massachusetts, on all corporal punishment of children, including by parents, and a series of laws in Minnesota severely restrict the use of corporal punishment of children.

What are positive effects of corporal punishment?

The advantage of physical punishment is that it is very convincing; if you wish to inspire fear, this will do it. The disadvantages are that it is also emotionally scarring and may lead to life-long resentment or hatred, and in addition, it could lead to charges of child abuse if children are the object of your punishment, or charges of assault in the case of adults, if the punishment is too severe. Also charges of murder, if the punishment proves to be fatal. The events at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, under the Bush administration, are a cautionary tale. 8D
