Much has been written by competent authorities on the deterrent effect on crime of the death penalty, heavy prison sentences, corporal punishment, banishment, etc., but I think the value of such punishment can only be determined locally and in the conditions prevailing at the time. Constant police vigilance and the rigid control of the possession of offensive weapons such as knives, axes, and other sharp instruments will go a long way to reducing violent crime.
