Saudi Arabia still practice all of this, probably the reason why crime rate in that country are so low compared to the USA. People in Saudi leave their shops, stalls and businesses when they hear call of prayer and nobody steal anything. Can you leave anything valuable on the roadside in America and expect nobody to steal it?

[@Maarij_Nomani_]

The crime rate in Japan, Australia & Norway is far lower than that of Saudi Arabia, without having the need to enforce any of those types of punishments. Also, in Saudi Arabia, there's simply no free media, so there's no way of knowing if such crimes are taking place. Furthermore, in medieval times, crime rates were even higher, even with those types of punishments in effect. This shows, there's absolutely no correlation between the two. Plus, countries like Sudan, Yemen, Somalia and others such, also have have those types of punishments and yet has one of the highest crime rates in the World. Why do you think, that is? It's because Sudan, Yemen, Somalia and other such countries have political instability, poverty, turmoil and other such challenges, which is why the crime rates are high. No matter, what punishment you implement, it has little to no effect on the overall crime rate in the country. It has more to do with the stability, welfare, well being and other such qualities, in a particular country. You have an answer for all of that, as well?

[@the_odd_cat553]

@@Maarij_Nomani_Norway has only a population of 5 million, of which 1 million live in the urban area of Oslo. so Norway has a very very low population density. It is also one of the richest countries. Saudi‘s capital has a bigger population than the entirety of Norway. Btw, in 2011 one of the most deadliest mass shootings in global history (~4th place) happened in Norway. In Japan the laws are very very strict and they have other harsh punishments. The police is also regularly committing police brutality to get people to confess their crime. Furthermore, Japanese culture very honor based and someone would rather kill himself than kill someone else. Shunning people who are different is also commonly done which forces people to fall in line. Btw, crimes against politicians are higher in Japan than in any western country. 2nd btw, the crimes committed in Japan are unbelievably gruesome and gross, one example: the murder of Junko Furuta.

You forgot the most acient one: Penal labor. By putting convicts to work on physical goverment projects, such as mining, maintainance, manufacture, farming, and other forms of labor, convicts will be put to works in order to produce cheap goods for the state or a company affiliated to the prison. Depending on the state, they could get payed way below the minimun wage salary which could be claimed once they were realesed or if you got permition, send it to a familiy member or friend, but some don´t pay them at all. It is almost institucional slavery, but usually you get the choice to accept the job, and your human rights are still in place except for the rights that the state provide to you since you are temporaly or indifenetly no longer a civilian. It is a very common practice to use penal labor for a state to mine the neccesary materials to get concrete with minimal tools.

Flogging in Indonesia is only legal in one province which is Aceh where Sharia law is implemented as part of it's autonomous province status, if you're in other part of Indonesia the secular civil law is used which is inherited from old Dutch colonial laws so if you're in Java for example they won't flog you

Fun Fact: imprisonment is a medieval punishment made by Muslims as we know it today at the Islamic golden age. it STILL EXIST Today! it's a very inefficient punishment since it just isolate you from the civilized capitalistic society and connects you to the criminal communist society, they survive by spending our tax money, like parasites. and they get out the prison to be a worse criminal, as people are the summation of the most people they spends time with, which is in this case, CRIMINALS. it also can be a blessing for some people. they don't need to work, and still have bed, toilet, food, friends, hobbies. IMPRISONMENT IS BY FAR THE MOST INAFFICIENT PUNISHMENT SINCE THERE IS NO PUNISHMENT. I Think Flogging is much better than that time wasting thing. it's superior by far, since it's fast and make the criminal regrets his actions and think twice before doing something illegal. also, the skin heals so fast also with the help of doctors.

In Malaysia, caning is used as a form of corporal punishment and is normally done in prisons. Caning punishment will be received if the convict is charged with rape, violence, drug trafficking, illegal immigration, bribery, illegal moneylending and criminal breach of trust. For example, a convict will be imprisoned between 8 to 30 years with whipping not less than 10 whips for sexual assault. The process is done where the convict (butt naked) is tied on a A-shape frame, the lower back and upper thighs is protected by a torso-shield and the caning punishment is then proceeded.

1:35 A little bit of clarification for Flogging in Malaysia. Yes it is recognized as a form of punishment but it is done according to islamic rites, not inspired by the european medieval form of punishment. Furthermore, all executions and punishments are done in complete privacy and if it is recorded, you are not allowed to release the footage to the public. However, judging by the inability to release footage of flogging to the public in Malaysia, i highly doubt you are able to record it in the first place. No spectators are also allowed to watch the execution in the first place. The tool used for the execution is also not a some kind of leash. The tool is actually a long object that looks like a very long ruler made of bamboo (known as "rotan" in Malay.) The wrongdoer will receive the flogging at the buttocks, not on the back and the effect of the flogging will result in painful wounds and cuts but doesn't result in bleeding.
