Does naming and shaming really work?
Originally I think I would have said yes but, as backed up by this article, I'm more inclined to say no.
Because to be honest those who are likely to feel shame by being named would probably not commit the crime in the first place. Or if they did, simply being caught, or the risk there of, would be enough punishment to stop them doing it again.
I can well imagine that, for some, being named would be received with delight.
Of course, everyone is different and there are exceptions, such as paedophiles, where I wouldn't really like to say if it were a deterrent or not. Since that, in a way, is probably more like an addiction or illness.
