Besides, overwhelmed, buttressed and bolstered by the fear and disgust generated by high capital or, sometimes, even non-violent crime rates, public attitudes to reviewing contemporary penal policy tend to compel politicians to undertake inessential reformation (Bandes, 2009; Wade-Gery, 1800). One perfunctory strategy commonly employed by the conservative policymakers in combating crime is to promote the policies that sweep more broadly, such as death penalty, through the use of exemplifying high profile capital cases (Steiker and Steiker, 2006). They claimed that given the severity of the corporal punishment, it will create positive effect to the society as a form of deterrence against capital offences (Johnson, 2013), though the belief is not well-founded.
