It's strange that 95% of the countries that have these public spankings etc. are normally considered backward e.g. countries in the middle east etc.

Whutchoo talkin' bout Jeppe???
Singapore has one of the harshest yet progressive criminal justice systems on Earth. And they have one of the lowest unemployment, highest literacy levels, outstanding social engineering that's envied the world over! A kid in Singapore will grow up to learn at least 3 languages and be fluent and literate in all three! Jobs are damned near guaranteed in Singapore and worldwide. I KNOW because I get their statistics each issue! Got a lotta friends in Singapore and they work hard, have clean homes and don't bullshit with crime.
If you get busted in Singapore you end up in jail. If you committed a crime out of ignorance then they put you on a mandatory educational/vocational program where you're damned near guaranteed a job for life when you get out. That's it! You learn to earn. Now if you fuck up again? It's your ass.
They learned lonnnng ago that there are two ways of prevention and rehabilitation. Education and an occasional ass whipping to remind the soul and the body what's what.
