Probably more effective than incorporeal punishment - unless the intention is to scare the crap out of the offender.
Seriously though, those who support the use of corporal punishment ought to thereby be willing to support the idea that law enforcement officers can pull their pants down and spank them in public the next time they are caught speeding.
If they can't accept that, then it follows that they obviously believe people younger than them have fewer human rights.
Those supporters who say, "I was smacked and it did me no harm" are missing the point. The fact that they support violent acts to children is, in my opinion, evidence of quite considerable harm to their moral values.
