However, the penalty is a "two-edged sword" for the effect of the penalty, we need to have a clear realization.Effect of penalties is that the state use punitive measures for the national crime prevention results. Penalties should be especially effect which is the ideal place for the pursuit of the realization and the general crime prevention of punishment special purpose, the specific performance of a large decrease in crime, or even completely eliminated, it is generally a model law-abiding person.

Penalty prevention is important, but it is only a part of the crime prevention and the last resort. The effect of the penalties is limited.It is true that the limited effect of the penalty imposed on us, does not contain criminal penalties. Our crime rate has risen, and re-growing crime "strike hard" criminal policy effect proved this.Since penalties effect is limited, why we are so superstitious? It is mainly because of retribution emotional, psychological and utilitarianism inert tendencies and the sentence from a psychological illusion.It is said that effect of penalties is limited, being on the basis of its criminology.

Criminal property, particularly criminal fines, penalties punishments of the trend in, a center to replace free criminal trends, but its existence inequities of drawbacks, the general preventive effect small.
