How does corporal punishment help that? Can they not commit burglaries with a sore bottom? Or are we betting that corporal punishment will stop them burgling after one caning? Do we have evidence for that?
Burglary isn't a petty crime, it would receive a stiff prison sentence (unlike now), not corporal punishment.
That is the sort of policy most people want to see, tough prison sentences for convicted burglars. Unlike successive LibLabCon governments who have failed us all on crime due to soft sentencing.
