‘Dog justice’ can reduce petty crimes

 THE incident in Port Moresby whereby a drug suspect was attacked by some police dogs does seem inhuman and unlawful but it does leave a mark on the man.
It may also deter others from criminal activities.
These people do not seem to understand the law so why talk law?
Let them know pain and humiliation.
It is appropriate and immediate punishment which hopefully will make these people think twice before they commit another crime.
It is similar to some traditional practices like you get penalised if you knowingly break traditional laws.
You may get beaten, whipped or etc, depending on the culture.
People understood this and respected customs and traditions.
Law and order issues have been increasing and when they get out of the police lock-ups, petty criminals resort to crime again.
This is unacceptable.
Lawmakers should incorporate some of our traditional laws and allow the police to mete out the punishment.
