Of the Ends of Punishment.

When any act has been committed that In the case of acts denominated offences
is followed or threatens to be followed by
mischievous consequences, two wishes naturally
& immediately suggest themselves
to the mind of the Legislator or Magistrate.
1st to obviate the danger of the like mischief it to prevent the commission of such acts:
in future 2dly to compensate make compensation
for the mischief that has already
been done resulting from such acts them when
committed.

The more immediate danger As to the
evils which it is the end of punishment
to prevent there are two distinguishable
sources from which they flow – 1st the conduct
of the offender himself. 2dly the conduct of
persons at large who may have the same
motives & opportunities to commit offences
of the like kind description.

The the prevention of offences may
be divided into two branches – Particular
prevention when the evils that are endeavoured to be prevented
are those that such as might ans ensue from the
conduct of the individual offender himself –
General prevention – where the Evils that
are such as might ensue from the
conduct of persons at large.
