B1. Ch.5 10
By way of supplement and explanation
to the first rule and to make sure
of giving to the punishment the superiority over
the offence, the three following rules may be
laid down.
Rule 7. That the value of the punishment
may outweigh the profit of the offence
it must be increased in point of magnitude
in proportion as it falls short in point of
certainty.
Rule 8. Punishment must be further
encreased in point of magnitude in proportion
as it falls short in point of proximity.
The profit of a Crime is commonly more
certain than its punishment, or what can amounts
to the same thing appears so to the offender.
It is generally more immediate – the
temptation to offend is present, the
punishment is at a distance. Hence
there are two circumstances which weaken
the effect of punishment, its uncertainty
and its distance.
Suppose the profits of a crime
equal to £10 sterling, suppose the chance
of punishment is 1. to 2. It is clear
that if the punishment supposing that
it were to take place is not more than
£10 Sterling, its effect when a man's mind
