makes one wonder if we are:'not too lenient with offenders, for many of the penalties imposed seem .


hardly to constitute a deterrent, It is not surprising, then, that there is a growing demand for the return of judicial corporal punishment as the most effective anti­ dote to violence, and the controversy over, birching has been revived by the recent decision of visiting magis­ trates at, Maidstone Prison, who sentenced 19-year-old Roger Maxwell to six strokes of the birch for attacking . a prison officer,

rejected , the birch as punlshrnent,-and: everyone -is-- 1 familiar with the arguments against it—that it degrades.- those who. administer it as well as the ones who are;, punished, and that it acts neither as. a, .corrective, hor/aS- deterrent, but merely confirms;-'the -offen^'iin'^ls?';. rebellion against society, . j This one must, in the broaff sense, accept,-:But on;


the other hand, most of us know; from oqr'own'okpefi-; ence that a sharp, salutory lesson is of more value as a deterrent than hours of lecturing, to be a good boy in - future. We agree that punishment given immediately, in . the heat of. the moment—a hefty-slap or-a thump—is not quite the same thing as a ritual birching.in,cold blood weeks, after the offence, and that in the latter instance the-psychological damage may be .greater than the degree of cure. Nevertheless we feel that magistrates'. are frequently too soft with'offenders, and that in several cases recently the punishment has. seemed to bear little relation to the offence, -


fairly said-to be a summing up of most people’s opinions, and we feel that more drastic measures, should be taken to reduce the incidence of violence, no matter what the ageof the offenders may be. Though.corporal, punishment may be ruled out, we feel that penalties for crime,,- especially those involving violence, should be sharply stepped up.


Some hypocrisy


belief that much of the trouble- lies in-the whole moral climate of-the country, and many-, people’s mutterings contain more- than a trace of . hypocrisy. How many are there-who wring their hands and make loud denunciations about the crime figures, yet think it very smart to fiddle their income .tax; who.-openly boast that they don't pay their share of the communal expenditure (the rates) until after the final demand note; or who deplore the road casualties but regard exceeding the speed limit:as something to do just as long as they can get away-.with it.


In this matter of crime, there is an increasing


announcement of the large number of. prosecutions in this area of people who have operated television sets without a licence. Most of them were well abb to pay but were content to let the honest viewer subsidise them. And these, it must be stressed, are the ones who were caught. How many other dishonest viewers there are one can only guess, but it has been said that they are robbing the BBC of £10 million a year. For this type of offence also, we feel the punish­


These thoughts are prompted by the recent '■ . ••

fiscating their sets. - No one has the right to register horror at the.
