On the Limitation of Criminal Punishment

Viewed from the prospective of the minimum morality and justice, the criminal punishment is a certain limit level of moral suffering and negative legal evaluation, imposed intentionally on the culpable crimes by the states on the basis of the liability for crime, for sure its operation has limitations. While viewed from the causes of crime and relationship between crime and punishment, the function of penalty is also limited. The advocate of heavy penalty can not surely transfer the contradictions between crime and punishment and in return effectively control the crime. In addition, from economics point of view, the intensity of the criminal punishment must be kept on an equivalence, which is based on the best variables between the cost and the income of penalty, and this should be confined by the essential factor of economy.
