CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.
“Jn my opinion, the objects of pun* iashment are five: (1) To deter the criminal himself from future crime; (2) to deter others from \the commission of offences; (3) to secure for the public a period of protection from the offender; (4) to reform so far as, is possible the criminal; and (5) to satisfy the demand of the people for punitive justice. It is, I think, well to remember these important matters when sentences are being delivered, or sentences are being criticised. I do not overlook as I mention these five important blatters the widely beneficient operation of the principal of probation.”/—Mr Justice McCardie, at the Birmingham Assizes.
