The Qing code in the statutory penalty for Caning, Exile, imprisonment, Exile, death, commonly known as "five penalties."Every sentence of "five penalties" has its own unique legislative meaning.Caning, used to punish the slightest criminal behavior, aimed at making the crime of shame, to discipline,enlightenment of legislative intent. Bludgeon, used to punish more serious criminal acts.Legislators believe that the offender has been obliterate shame,so no longer use the flogging,and the use of sticks, focusing on warning.Imprisonment and exile is an intermediate punishment,punishment for more serious offenses?The application of these two penalties can be achieved both for the purpose of punishing serious crimes. While preserving the lives of the offender.The death penalty is the most severe punishment in the Qing code.The frequency of application of "five penalties" in the full text of the statute is also different.The highest frequency of application in Officials Law is bludgeon, the second high is caning.Death penalty in the back of caning. The frequency of application of exile and imprisonment is at the end. In the case of the law, the highest frequency of punishment is the penalty. Followed by caning.

In addition to Criminal law, caning application frequency is second.Throughout the Qing code,the most widely used "five penalties" is bludgeon, followed by caning. To some extent, we can say that the Qing code punishment is bludgeon,caning as the main punishment,attention to education, warning offenders. The death penalty in the middle.This shows that the Qing code on harm the power of the monarch and political, endanger national security, loss of humanity and ethics, Infringing property and injuring the person and other major vicious crimes do not tolerate, zero tolerance attitude.Although imprisonment and exile application frequency in the last, but the data between the two and the death penalty data is not much difference.This can explain the Qing code in the process of punishing the crime also pay attention to the lives of criminals. |
