Well, I think the medival times had a good approach to people who severely offended. They would put them in a cage in town central, where people could point, laugh and throw garbage/tomatoes/whatever at the offenders. After that, depending on the severity of the crime, they would have a public be-heading also!
I think modern society could survive without public be-headings, but the humiliation cage downtown is a great idea!
