What is seen as appropriate punishment has changed over the millennia, from punishments like crucifixion and stoning to today’s methods of restorative justice. To determine whether or not a law or legal policy is supported, the application of it by the judiciary, the writings of academics and the general reaction of people in the non-legal community must be closely examined.
