Dover public whipping in 1962 case stirs debate

Whipping in Delaware Sparks Crime Deterrence Debate
A court plans to sentence Cannon to flogging, reviving a historic punishment debate. Proponents say the lash deters crime, citing Judge Lynch's view that criminals fear the punishment more than jail. Critics, including Cannon's lawyers, argue flogging is cruel and unconstitutional. Delaware law lists 24 flogging offenses with 5 to 60 lashes.
