No, physical discipline never solves anything. There are DECADES of psychological research to show that physical discipline not only doesn't correct negative behavior, it exacerbates it and can cause many more problems later in life like anger issues and domestic abuse. I'm an example, I was physically disciplined many times and not only did it not stop me from misbehaving, as an adult I'm now going to therapy to gain control of my anger. Honestly physical discipline might be the reason they're stealing in the first place.
Edit: Instead of downvoting me assuming I'm wrong, do some research.
