They took the deterrent away, and it all went berserk  |
But the complaint against the cane in school was it was the same few idiots who still got caned,again and again and again and again........it wasn't a complete deterrent..anymore than hanging was.You all avoided my mention of the Krays...they weren't scared of hanging, in fact they weren't scared of anyone.Their record on National service is a real eye opener.

The krays mainly went after their own kind, they took care of the situation if a woman was beaten up or raped. I`m not saying they were angels but the east end was safer when they were around.
So called Back street abortions still happen today, but now, its called the morning after pill.
And "proscribed" is actually spelt prescribed.  |
Oh the morning after pill is not back street abortions that's stretching it a great deal..and very emotive.
I already explained about how caning was only a deterrent for some of us..there were those that never learned.
And The Krays were still murderers who weren't scared of being hung...it doesn't matter whom their victims were.Safer?Not really it was just certain crimes were less reported.In fact there was less news and it certainly wasn't available 24/7. Tv and Radio were shut down for most of the evening.Only two TV stations.So there was less concentrated reporting of the crimes taking place.
I very much doubt that Brady and Hindley were even thinking about being caught even less that they weren't going to hang..
And then there were still those who committed murder despite the chances of being caught, tried and hung.It may have deterred some but not all.
Proscribed,precsribed..not often I use the wrong word.
