| | Punishment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Most often, criminals are punished judicially, by fines, corporal punishment or custodial sentences such as prison; detainees risk further punishments for breaches of internal rules. | | | In more serious cases, punishment in the form of fines and compensation payments may also be considered a sort of "restoration". | | | The most dangerous criminals may be sentenced to life imprisonment, or even to irreparable alternatives -the death penalty, or castration of sexual offenders- for this reason of the common good. |

| | PUNISHMENT - LoveToKnow Article on PUNISHMENT |
| | The second stage was punishment by individuals under the control of the state, or community; in the third stage, with the growth of law, the state took over the primitive function and provided itself with the machinery of justice for the maintenance of public order. | | | Punishment may take forms varying from capital punishment, flogging and mutilation of the body to imprisonment, fines, and even deferred sentences which come into operation only if an offence is repeated within a specified time. | | | Henceforward crimes arc against the state, and the exaction of punishment by the wronged individual is illegal (cf. |

| | Punishment is to vindicate the law and the social order undermined by the crime. | | | Consideration of the justice, morality, or usefulness, of capital punishment is often conflated with objections to its alleged discriminatory or capricious distribution among the guilty. | | | Although penalties can be unwise, repulsive, or inappropriate, and those punished can be pitiable, in a sense the infliction of legal punishment on a guilty person cannot be unjust. |

| | Legal Punishment |
| | Legal punishment presupposes crime as that for which punishment is imposed, and a criminal law as that which defines crimes as crimes; and a system of criminal law presupposes a state, which has the political authority to make and enforce the law and to impose punishments. | | | Another question, concerning the preconditions of punishment, is whether those who appear before the criminal courts have been treated as citizens by the polity that now seeks to call them to account for their wrongdoing, and what the implications are if they have not. | | | Matravers, M. (2000), Justice and Punishment: The Rationale of Coercion. |

| | Capital punishment in the People's Republic of China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Capital punishment in China is not applied on a uniform basis. | | | Finally, capital punishment in China can be imposed on crimes against symbols and treasures of the state, such as theft of cultural relics and the killing of pandas. | | | Some commentators have noted the irony of targeting this aspect of capital punishment as a principal form of abuse of judicial power in China, when in fact the execution of large numbers of women appears due to the liberal principle of treating men and women equally under the law. |

| | Catholic Social Teaching -- capital punishment |
| | We believe that the forms of punishment must be determined with a view to the protection of society and its members and to the reformation of the criminal and his reintegration into society (which may not be possible in certain cases). | | | The third justifying purpose for punishment is retribution or the restoration of the order of justice which has been violated by the action of the criminal. | | | With respect to the difficulties inherent in capital punishment, we note first that infliction of the death penalty extinguishes possibilities for reform and rehabilitation for the person executed as well as the opportunity for the criminal to make some creative compensation for the evil he or she has done. |

| | Punishment |
| | Punishments may not be imposed in ways that violate the rights of accused and convicted offenders ("due process of law" and "equal protection of the laws"). | | | Fourth, punishment is imposed on persons who are believed to have acted wrongly (the basis and adequacy of such belief in any given case may be open to dispute). | | | Insofar as the system of punishment on which they rely is essentially just, none of the sentencing acts that the institution warrants are unjust (they may, of course, be unwise). |

| | Capital Punishment [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | The retributive notion of punishment in general is that (a) as a foundational matter of justice, criminals deserve punishment, and (b) punishment should be equal to the harm done. | | | Defenders of capital punishment argue that retributive justice is one such conflicting duty. | | | The applied ethics issue of capital punishment involves determining whether the execution of criminals is ever justified, and, if so under what circumstances it is permissible. |

| | The Justifications of Punishment |
| | In order to justify punishment because it reforms there would need to be greater success with punishment as a reform than seems to be the case in actual fact. | | | But if is meant to be a general justification for punishment the way in which the legal institution of punishment works, especially in prisons, is hardly conducive to reform. | | | Here the objection might be that it is only the guilty who can be punished and that the innocent should not be punished. |

| | Capital punishment is warranted due to the sanctity of life. | | | Opponents of capital punishment who accuse the government of committing murder by implementing the death penalty fail to see the irony of using Exodus 20 to define murder but ignoring Exodus 21, which specifically teaches that government is to punish the murderer. | | | Opponents of capital punishment argue that it is not a deterrent, because in some states where capital punishment is allowed the crime rate goes up. |

| | He may bemoan his bad luck and wish that his punishment were not likely to further any utilitarian aims so that he may avoid it, but he cannot rightly accuse society of a violation of justice for failing to punish others when he does in fact deserve the punishment that is being inflicted upon him. | | | Since punishment involves inflicting a pain or deprivation similar to that which the perpetuator of a crime inflicts on his victim, it has generally been agreed that punishment requires moral as well as legal and political justification. | | | Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison. |

| | Included in the anti-capital punishment defense were arguments that the death penalty is not a deterrent, is morally offensive and an archaic form of punishment. | | | Participants were asked to imagine that they lived in a jurisdiction in which the death penalty was a legal punishment, and that they were serving on a jury in the penalty phase of a capital trial. | | | In 1972, the United States Supreme Court ruled that capital punishment, as it was then being administered, was being applied in an arbitrary and capricious manner which constituted cruel and unusual punishment (Furman v Georgia, 1972). |
