    This was a regular occurrence in Northern Ireland in the 1970s/80s and it happened many times a lot later than 1981 as stated in this video . It was seen as a milder form of punishment to drug dealers or burglars and car thieves, as opposed to being kneecapped with a hand gun, an assault rifle or in some cases an electric drill. If you were Tared and Feathered you could consider yourself lucky.

    I'm 58 years old. When I was in elementary school the textbooks used cartoons from the day to teach us that this was a funny thing to do to someone. No. This was torture, and the process would throw the victim into such physical shock that many were killed by it. The colonial governor we tarred and feathered during the Revolution was still picking cooked flesh off his body for years afterward. Till his death, he saved some of the huge chunks of cooked skin and muscle that had dehydrated. And just because there is no reference to anyone dying of the process does not mean it didn't happen. Records were usually only kept by the victors. This information is from the victim's diaries and accounts by other court officials.

    Shaving, tarring, and feathering genitals sounds like a step in the right direction.
    It's not quite 'going medieval' but 'going 19th century' has a decent ring to it, and making their punishment visible sounds like an effective public service, more than simply 'registering as an offender' might do on its own.

They then forced her outside, marched her down to the railroad tracks and left her tied to a crate in front of hundreds of (understandably) shocked workmen. Luckily for her, one of the men took pity and released her not long after.
