Public shame is an appropriate means of punishing criminals?

If you are asking whether public shame is an appropriate means of punishing criminals ... so far, that is a matter up to the discretion of the judge. There have been cases throughout the United States where the sentence for a crime was public shaming. One recent judge ordered a mother and daughter theft team to stand outside of the business they robbed holding signs stating what they did. There have been many similar sentences handed down for such crimes. Unless a mandatory sentence exists for a certain crime, the judge may impose new and "creative" ways to teach offenders a lesson and attempt to decrease recidivism in certain individuals. At this time, we as a society have not created a law stating that Public Shame is always or is never an acceptable punishment.
