Institutions for
preventing crimes
will be accordin correspond to
the propensities
which give birth
to them.

We have taken a view of [all] the crimina motives
from whence actions of all sorts any kind , and therefore from
whence criminal actions can possibly take their source.
Correspondent in some measure to the variety of these
motives will be the variety of the institutions by
which the mischief of those actions may be combated.

They must regard
either 1. the power will :
2. the power: or 3.
the mischief.

Necessary to the doing accomplishment of every act are the
knowledge will and the power [meaning the physical power]
of doing it. When both these concur, the act takes can
not but take place: when either of them is wanting, it does can not
take place. Accordingly the whatever institutions
can possibly be devised in the view of combating
the mischief of criminal actions must have one
or other of the three following purposes for their
object
1 To prevent a mans entertaining the will to
do the act
2. To prevent his having the power to do the destroy or diminish the power or facility he may have
of doing it: that is or in other words to encrease the difficulty
he may find in doing it
3. To prevent or palliate the mischief if it were
done.
