I'm with the post wielder.
Actions have consequences. You work hard, you earn your pay, you buy food for your family and then someone comes along and steals it and expects sympathy when caught. Nope.
The little thief earned his beating.
Call it harsh, but there is never an acceptable reason for stealing.

Yes, let's take the thief, who has just shown no regard for your property, and give them a task to do, involving your property, which unless supervised like a prison chain gang, they are likely just to steal that as well.
A fox is caught stealing a chicken from the hen house. Your solution, put the fox on guard duty of the hen house because you are certain he learned his lesson and really wants to help out and wont just take another chicken or two when you aren't looking.
Nope.

Because assault and battery are a great way to teach someone the moral wrongs of stealing. Sounds like a plan to me. It's a great way to deal with all the moral issues of the world - bash people in the head until they start listening, or stop moving, whichever works, right?
You catch a thief, put 'em in jail, - great. Now what? Does it solve the reason the thief stole to start with? No, it just means you, personally, don't have to deal with the thief again for a while.

My only "agenda" is pointing out that there's nothing good about what's going on in this picture. A man is beating a child so hard he literally knocked a tooth out of his head. While I would also advocate having the kid work it off, you can see by my above conversation that there's at least one person who would disagree with the idea a thief could work it off.
Unfortunate setup. I can imagine this many others going through this besides Nick. Just deciding to go assume the negative stereotypes people place upon them despite them having better hearts than that and wanting to show that they're different because such efforts cause more pain than their worth.
As a former-retired cop I must say actions do have consequences. With that said however things like this must always be handled in an appropriate way! I see nothing wrong with scaring children into listening and using forceful punishments when needed, it was done to me as a kid and it was extremely effective! However, beating a child with piece of wood, especially one who’s actively apologizing, is in a defensive pose and very likely is poor and hungry; hence the reason of stealing a single apple of perhaps 25 cents in value is taking things to the extreme and completely unacceptable! It’s also a serious crime that will get you punished for a whole lot longer than shoplifting. Now if that same kid robbed or broke into someone’s house and someone killed him that’d be a different story and I’d completely support the victims of the crimes!
Sooo... if a teenager tries to steal your property in your house... then its just to put a bullet in their head?
Ive seen this crazy narrative in things from stories, film, movies, books etc... thats been going around for some time... that is that when someone engages in a criminal act, if they are killed while committing it then its justice. and it seems to apply to those whom often are not committing crimes that would result ina death penalty. If someone breaks into your property, points a gun at you, threatens to kill you... yeah thatsa call for self defense... but if that person is in your youse, you dont see a weapon on them, theyre taking your computer parts or valuables... they havent made an advance on attacvking you, then i do not at all think that instantly means you should just go and kill them.. You do realize that means morally.... human property is worth more than life. and for evem more perspective... that drug lord you put behind bars... they came to that same conclusion, that physical property is worth more than someones life.

Actually I have a life story that happened to me that I cannot believe i did not remember this just now.
When i was younger in my early 20's I was visiting with my parents who live in Illinois. My parents are pretty strong gun enthusiasts and have a lot of rifles as well as handguns and a shotgun. I think they have 3 handguns right now. One night I was sitting on the back porch listening to music on my mp3 player. I fell asleep on the deck chair and woke up at around close to midnight, so i went to go in the porch door, but I found out that if you turn the handle downward it jams and does not open. It was not like that the last time i visited them. When I was able to get the door open, my dad rounded the corner of the hallway in only just his underwear and had his handgun pointed directly at my face. I spoke out to him in the dark kitchen and then he realized it was me and lowered it. That gave me a start. the next day both of them chided me harshly saying that me fiddlign with the door was "senselessly stupid" and that I had nearly been shot and to never "do something so dumb" again. Believe me or not, that is what happened.
And i realized that my parents have a lot of guns for home protection but they have NEVER ONCE been robbed ever. Even when they lived in southern California. In fact I'm the only person in my family who has ever been mugged and a victim of a crime when i was attacked for reporting a theft at my workplace.
That shit with my dad pointing a gun at me for getting stuck outside the house at night major sunk my oppoinions about their ideas of home invasion and self protection. Had I not spoken up when i came in the back door, I could have died... and for NO reason. A reason on the paranoid idea that they were going to someday soon be assailed by criminals and invaders... something that has never and still has not to this date happened to them before!

I hate that disney creates alll these generic one dimensional characters, yet engender a level of likeability in them to make them fun or amusing... even the villains. But they dont go much beyong that at all. We never know what goes into a characters behavior.
Now Zootopia is a bit different though in the lexicon. cause one of the main chars Nick starts off as a generic 'bad guy' but then we are treated to his life history to realize where his antisocial behavior comes from. Something you have given here to Duke.
Of course though then the movie has to end with Nick becoming a proud cop so essentially becoming a 'good guy'. But the idea that they give a 'bad guy' a reason as to why they are what they are is a good step. Then again... they have the Don who is clewarly one of the most awful characters (a crime boss who kills animals for money and power) and yet at the end of the movie hes treated as helping the cops and being afun and likable guy. >.> What Id really like to see is the truth of human nature in these chars.... that good and evil are not in fact definitive and that there is often a great complexity to our natures.
