  There is a case for discipline in much of our society and a lot of it has to start with parents. I have had children at the door looking for my son who are baffled by the idea that he is grounded for being naughty at school, as they cannot understand how it still applies out of school hours. I also dispair of children supposedly being 'home taught' when the only lessons they seem to be learning are how to shop at Tesco's. However there is a clear difference between liberal use of canes and productive discipline. If teachers cannot hold the attention of a class without threats of violence then there is a failing in the teaching and if it is home learnt behaviour causing disruption then there needs to be better communication between school and home. If the cane is your first opption it only indicates a lack of ideas on your part. We should hope that society as a whole could be beyond the, "who you looking at I'm going to thump you" attitude. The same argument goes for hanging. If you want to indicate that a civilised, law abiding society is better than chaotic anarchy then the first example you don't want to give is that you think killing people is an answer to anything.
  
  Further to that if you put judicial killing on to the staute book, where do you stop? We have already heard from judges and clerics who think there could be a place for islamic laws in British law. Will it then be alright to kill (hang) people because you are scared that homosexuality might be catching or that your woman having an affair diminishes your masculine ego?
