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.

Crime persists because most criminals believe?

that they can get away with their actions due to various factors such as lack of law enforcement, lenient punishment, or loopholes in the system. Additionally, some individuals may turn to crime as a means of survival due to poverty or lack of opportunities. Addressing these underlying issues can help reduce crime rates.


Should public opinion be ignored?

No, because people could change another persons mind. And other people (in public) can say something that you never thought of or came up with. And it can help a lot.Another Answer:The odd thing about public opinion is that it is what someone else says it is. This means, it is a slave to what ever the reporting person wants it to be. We, as the public, do not have ready access to the polls that are used to gather public opinion and must rely on the poll takers and their treatment of the data. This means that we must be very cautious when we listen to "public opinion." We must take into consideration the biases of the reporter of it. While it is fine to listen to what someone else says, we should consider the same data from as many different perspectives as possible before deciding on the validity of that data.
