Kirk, along with his co-hosts Jack Posobiec, Tyler Bowyer and Blake Neff, continued to discuss at what age should children watch the public executions, with one co-host pointing out as young as 12 years old.

I mean, petty crime is almost non-existent in Saudi Arabia. Their system of punishment is horrible, but it seems to be effective in at least some manner. I wonder if regular and public reminders of the punishment for certain crimes would do more of a deterrent than just the threat of years of incarceration.
At what cost to society?
No. Studies show that basically the only thing that impacts whether a person who would otherwise want to commit a crime might be dissuaded is the chance of being caught.
