IX Subserviency to Compensation

A further property desirable in a lot of punishments
is that it may be convertible to profit.

When an offence is committed there is produced follows
as has already been said, two lots of punishment
of evil – the evil of the offence and the evil of
the punishment. Wherever then the an offence
has been committed a specific person bears the
evil of the offence falls not upon a specific person
let the profit of the p arising from the punishment
be applied to that punishm be given to that person,
& in balancing them amount there will remain
instead of two, but one lot of evil – the evil of the offence – and even the
amount of that is reduced to a minimum by the expectation that
will be entertained that for every offence that in every subsequent case
as comp committed compensation where an offence is committee the evil of the offence it produces
will be diminished by the compensation that is
made to follow it.

This property is possessed in a more eminent
degree by pecuniary than by any other mode
of punishment.

if it be not capable of being easily described & apprehended. To be effectual it must I ought to be made

a simple mode of punishment: there are various
classes of offences in which it will be found that the punishment may
should consist of many items a variety of items will be found useful – fine, corporal punishment,
imprisonment. In such cases instances Simplicity must be sacrified
to those the attainment of more important objects. It is plain noticed
as being object to be immediate. The a feature however an object that ought not to be neglected since the more
complex is the punishment, the more of it to greater is the danger
be apprehended that at the time of the temptation
