Should We Implement Corporal Punishment?

Read a disturbing news about a techie raping 15 yr old girl for two months.

A software professional from Mangalore was arrested on Thursday for confining and raping a minor girl for the past two months. The girl left her house following a petty quarrel with her parents and landed in the clutches of the software professional at Tirupati.

If we are to try this person in court, it will take minimum of 2 yrs to prosecute him. With people like Ajmal Kasab who went on a rampage on the streets of Mumbai (shown live on television), getting a fair trial, people are losing trust in the law and order system. In a judicial system like India, criminal case hearings run really long before the accused is convicted. Well, judiciary is also reportedly corrupt.

The only way I can think of to manage crime is to inflict fear in criminal's minds by imposing corporal punishment. An extreme measure typically used in Saudi Arabia, but very effective in controlling crime.  

Thoughts?
