B.I.UL.5

whilst it continues uncertain, is not
equal to a certain loss of 10 starting: it is
only equal to a certain of starting.
That if may rendered equal to the profit of the
crime, it must be raised to 20.

Except in those Sinless men are hurried
on by outrageous passion they do not engage in the
carress of crime without the hope of impunity.
WithoutIf a punishment were to consist only in taking from an offender the fruit of his crime and this punishment were infallible, there would be no more such crimes committed, for what man would be so insensibleinsensate as to take the of committing a crime with the certainty of not enjoying its fruits and the shame of having attempted it. In but as there isare always some chance of escape, it is necessary to increase the value of the punishment to counterbalance these chances of impunity.

It is therefore true, that the more Punishm the certainty of punishment can be augmented, the more it may be diminished in amount. This is one advantage resulting from simplicity of legislation and excellence of legal procedure.

For the same reason it is necessary that the Punishment should be as near in point of time to the crime as possible, because its impression uponthe minds of men is weakened by distance, + because this distance adds to the uncertainty of its inflection, by offering fresh chances of escaspe.
