Ends of Punishment

Every human action is the result of a
calculation, more or less accurately made on the one hand
of fr the pains, & on the other hand of the pleasures, with which
it may be attended expected to be accompanied. When a man perceives
or supposes pain to be the consequences
of an act the impression is acted upon in such a
manner impulse he receives is such as tends with a certain force
to restrain him from the commission of that
act, If the apparent importance of
that pain be greater than the apparent
importance* of the expected pleasure he expects to
be the result consequence of the act, the restraining
force will then preponderate, and he will
be absolutely prevented deterred from performing committing the
intended act mediated act.

With reference to any particular offender
there are three modes of preventing by which
he may he may be restrained from again offending.

1. By taking By physical restraint or disablement which takes from him the physical power
of doing it offending.

2. By taking By ideal restraint which takes from him the will or inclination

3. By taking from him the boldness.

Note

* I say importance, in order to include the
four circumstances of which constitute the effect of
a lot of pain or of pleasure – intensity, proximity,
probability, duration.

This may serve to obviate the objections
made by Locke (B.2 C.21) of in his Essay against
the doctrine that man is determined by his
greatest apparent good.
