The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Paedophiles makes me wonder if we should bring back branding as a punishment.
Clearly any register you need to manually go and look up the person is too easily missed, but a brand on a shoulder would not be overlooked as easily.
forehead is much more visible
Why is there a tat on your forehead that says REDO?
Yeah, but I don't want to force them further into crime to be able to survive.
That is bad for society, I'd rather make sure that they would be able to feed themselves and not causing any more trouble.
The brand would still be easy to check.
On the forehead.
As I said in an earlier comment, that would just isolate them further from society, forcing them into further crime to survive.
I'd rather they are able to feed themselves and contribute to society than to be a further drain on resources.
