Measure of Punishment.
I will begin with the [rules that limit it] considerations that tend to fix the limits of it on the
minus side. These are
First, the real profit, meaning the real profit
of the offence. 2dly The apparent profit of it.
⊞ ⊞ Rule 1st.
With a view to the first of these considerations we may venture to lay it down as a rule that,
The A Punishment ought not to be less than
the profit meaning the real profit) of the crime. This for the sake] ⊞ to answer the end purpose of
Correction. If The real profit of the crime when understood is the force which
urges a man to delinquency: the pain of the punishment
is that which is to restrain him from it. If
the first of these forces be the greater, he will
committ the crime; if the second he will not
committ it. If then a man having reaped the
profit of a crime, and undergone the punishment
finds the former more than equivalent to the latter
he will go on offending ad infinitum; there is
nothing to restrain him. The pain it Whatever
punishment he undergoes in this case is just
so much worse than nothing: as it can not
have the effect of preventing any mischief, it
is so much misery or waste.⊞ ⊞ It is therefore plain to demonstration that An inadequate
punishment is worse than none at all.
Rule 2d
Where the apparent profit excee The apparent
profit is either the equal to the real, or
less or greater. Where it is If in any case what is not likely there
should appear reason to conclude the apparent
profit of the crime to be either less than or barely equal to the real:
