Punishment is the practice of imposing something unpleasant or aversive on a person or animal, usually in response to disobedience, defiance, or behavior deemed morally wrong by individual, governmental, or religious principles. The word is the abstract substantivation of the verb to punish, which is recorded in English since 1340, deriving from Old French puniss-, an extended form of the stem of punir "to punish," from Latin punire "inflict a penalty on, cause pain for some offense," earlier poenire, from poena "penalty, punishment of great loss" . Latin "punire" possibly was inspired by the phoenician way to execute by means of crucifixion. Therefore the carthagian crosses were called "signae poenae" - "signs of the phoenicians". Colloquial use of to punish for "to inflict heavy damage or loss" is first recorded in 1801, originally in boxing; for punpishing as "hard-hitting" is from 1811. In common usage, the word "punishment" might be described as "an authorized imposition of deprivations — of freedom or privacy or other goods to which the person otherwise has a right, or the imposition of special burdens — because the person has been found guilty of some criminal violation, typically (though not invariably) involving harm to the innocent." (according to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy). Augustine confessions, every inordinate act carries its own punishment.

1. Finding Jesus by Rodney Howard Browne
November 06, 2009
Joseph's life offers us an amazing portrayal of the grace of The Lord God as He came to our rescue in the Person of His Boy, Jesus. And rather than experiencing punishment, which we basically merit, we are sitting at His table and served more than we will be able to ever take in. So we hopelessly plead our case, only to have Him talk kindly to us-promising us peace in our own language. We then attempt to ward off His fury by negotiating with Him, thinking our tough work and sincere efforts will pay Him back for all those noxious past deeds we are guilty of. What we were thinking of was ea... (read more)

3. Wrongful Death and Punitive Damage Claims
November 05, 2009
A wrongful death action sounds like something that would constitute a criminal case. Alas, it does not. It is a civil action. This means that a jury or judge finding in favor of the plaintiff would render an award of monetary damages in most cases. That doesn't mean, however, that punishment isn’t dealt out as well. In civil litigation, it comes in the form of punitive damages.
To win any civil lawsuit, you need to show the element of damages. If a person slanders you by screaming untold curses that are not true, it really doesn't matter if they do it in the middle of the Sahara where no... (read more)

6. Not Gone and Not Forgotten: The Illusion of California Expungement
November 03, 2009
One of the underlying principles of criminal punishment is that the wrongdoer should pay his or her debt to society. Serious crimes usually require that the offender pay with his freedom, i.e., imprisonment. Lesser offenses might be punished with fines or restitution paid to the victims. An accompanying principle is that, once paid, and offenders debt is forgiven, and the slate wiped clean. To that end, California, like most states, permits certain offenders to expunge their criminal records. However, while expungement has certain practical advantages, its current application in California fal... (read more)
