Capital Punishment

It is my personal belief that capital punishment should be much more strick. I'm talking about public beatings and removal of limbs for certain crimes. I also think that the death penalty should be carried out immediately after the sentence. Right after the judge says guilty the criminal should be drug out behind the court house and executed. The crime rate in countries that use these harsh punishments is almost zero, compared to crime riddled countries like America. Those opposed to this...well why. Unless you are planning to commit a crime what do you have to lose with this change.
