C
Of Preventive Institutions. Measures physically
preventive
better than penal.

It is evident enough with regard to any offence whatsoever
that any expedients by which the progress of it can be checked
without the expence of punishment are better than any
which consist in punishment; that physical obstacles
are much better than moral ones to set up against
an offence; and that it is much better to make an offence
physically speaking more difficult to commit than it was
before, than it is o leave it as easy as it was before; &
render it more penal. Measures of the former kind are
oftentimes more efficacious, and they may easily be made are sure to be less expensive.
