In 1630, the Puritans set sail for America. The Puritans established their own religion when they arrived in Boston. The Puritans believed that all sins must have a punishment. One common punishment was death and the other was carrying something for the rest of your life that symbolized the sin committed. Branding and banishment were also common punishments the Puritans believed in.
The Puritans in the 1600s had a very important influence in the development of the New England colonies through the 1660s their ideas, values; political, economic and social development would have a lasting effect on the region. The values of the Puritans were greatly rooted in the idea that man was evil and that God alone would save us. By creating this town upon the hill God will reward them for their efforts for trying to reform the Anglican Church. Politically the Puritans were a semi-theocracy that would only allow those who were part of the church to vote. Economically they brought a lasting effect based on their hard work ethic.
The notorious killing machine of the French Revolution was, in fact, the guillotine. They had used the guillotine to execute anyone that would have refused to obey what the government would have wanted at the time. Out of the thousands of people to be executed by this killing machine, some higher power was also taken to. This included King Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette. Estimated of the number of lives taken by the guillotine during the French Revolution range from 17,000 to 40,000 citizens.
During the puritan times there were strict rules and codes for behavior. If one would violate these rules in any way there was a punishment. In the case of Dedham in 1630 there were the stocks. The puritan’s believed that when someone would sneeze, yawn, or laugh Satan would possess the body and made the person that was possessed misconduct. The stocks were a form of punishment for those who violated the law or a code of behavior.

It seems that at first the Romani were fairly respected and welcomed by the native population. Because of their dark skin tone, foreign looks and nomadic lifestyle, they were mistaken for Egyptian pilgrims. At the time, devoted pilgrims were gladly received and housed in many pious Christian households, which might explain why the Roma did not shed more light on their origin but even spread stories and rumours about their Egyptian ancestry. Since they were regarded as Egyptians, they were often called Egypcions, Egypsies or, simply
In the beginning, parents were responsible for the basic education of their children. The Law of 1642 required parents to see to it that their children knew the principles of religion and the capital laws of the commonwealth (Matzat). The Puritans believed that if children could understand the written language, they would be able to understand the Bible and the governing laws.
Sentencing disparity within the American Judicial system is a problem that exists across the nation. According to Merriam Webster’s dictionary, disparity means the markedly distinct in quality or character. Many times, disparity is used in conjunction with discrimination as if the two words mean the same, but they do not. Disparity will include a difference in treatment or outcome but is not based on an opinion, bias or prejudice.
Penology is a system that a totalitarian government highly pays attention to. Michel Foucault’s Discipline and Punishment traces the history of sovereign discipline and punishment from the medieval ages until the modern age in Western society. He argues that sovereign or authoritative punishment took four forms which are: torture – punishment – discipline – prison. Foucault examined the act of torturing and concluded that the public execution was ultimately an ineffective use of the body and non-economical, it also as applied non-uniformly and haphazardly. Thus, it was the antithesis of the more modern concerns of the state: order and generalization.
The central idea behind Jean Hampton's Moral Education Theory of Punishment (MET) is that it is best to educate criminals on their wrongdoings without handing down any physical punishments or ramifications. Hampton believes that excessive harm is not a moral response to a crime committed by a person. Rather, she argues that the point of basic punishment is to teach the wrongdoer that the action they did or wanted to do is forbidden, on the basis that it is morally wrong according to society. Therefore, according to Hampton, it is much healthier to educate criminals rather than handing down difficult physical punishments, which simply hurts the criminal and can be unproductive. To elaborate, Hampton proposes that any form of punishment is justified

In Eastern Europe, the Roma are the largest, poorest minority group across the region and are subjected to varied forms of social & political exclusions. One survey of social attitudes in 3 European countries found 78% of those held negative views of Roma people. Roma children rarely complete secondary level education to gain appropriate qualifications and this has a knock-on effect which increases unemployment rates and poverty. A number of publications such as the World Bank Study on the Roma uncovered 80% of Roma households in Bulgaria, 70% in Romania and 40% in Hungary qualify as poor. I will analyse the case law of discrimination against Roma leading up to the landmark Grand Chamber judgement of Nachova where we see the application of the increasingly contested standard of proof ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ established by the Court itself to show racial motivation.

There is a worldwide trend in the use of penal imprisonment for serious offenses as capital punishment has been renounced by an increasing number of countries. Harsh punishments include capital punishment, life imprisonment and long-term incarceration. These forms of punishments are usually used against serious crimes that are seen as unethical, such as murder, assault and robbery. Many people believe that harsher punishments are more effective as they deter would-be criminals and ensure justice is served. Opposition towards harsh punishments have argued that harsher punishments does not necessarily increase effectiveness because they do not have a deterrent effect, do not decrease recidivism rates and do not provide rehabilitation.
