Abstract
I will be discussing some important information that is pertaining to the Colonial Period. I will
be discussing some key important facts that the Colonial Period carried out with extreme
punishments to the offenders. These punishments that were use in our society from a long time
ago will be considered as inhumane today. The 21st Century takes a different approach in better
educating our juveniles to keep reoccurring circumstances from occurring.

Colonial Period
I would like to start out this individual project by talking about when was the Colonial
Period actually took place to give the reader an idea. The Colonial Period policing actually
started in the year of 1215; it did not get established until 1600 when the Magna Carta was
introduced (Net Industries, 2011). The Magna Carta was put in place for the liberties for each
citizen, it only granted some liberties. It was widely considered to provide some range of
individual freedoms (Net Industries, 2011). In the Colonial Period, the criminals were brought to
the middle of the town to receive their punishment in front of the public (Demand Media, 2010).
Such punishments would include the following: pillory, stocks, and whipping posts (Demand
Media, 2010).
Punishments
In addition, the person who was locked in the pillory during treacherous weather
conditions would be subjected to a punishment from the township would have fruit thrown at
them by the citizens of the community (Demand Media, 2010). The most common crime and
hated by others was the crime of blasphemy. There was some speculation to Captain Kemble in
that his punishment was lewd and unseemly behavior of the Sabbath Day (Demand Media,
2010). The punishments in detail; the pillory is type of framework that has holes in it so the
offender can put his head, and hands in while the offender stands up. The term stocks had holes

were the offender’s ankles were locked in settling down (Demand Media, 2010). The punishment
of whipping posts consists of the offender getting whipped in front of the whole town (Demand
Media, 2010).
Theories
The theories expressed during this time frame can easily be summed up to be as rude,
unethical popular law. The first theory was considered to be the standard theory (Stoebuck,
1968). There was a Chief Justice with the name of Lemuel Shaw concluded to the facts during
the Colonial Period that the Colonial beginnings of the 17th century and 18th Century that the
English jurisprudence was even considered a subsidiary force (Stoebuck, 1968). In 1968, the
author William Stoebuck mentions that Chief Justice Lemuel Shaw stated that the common law
was imported by our colonial ancestors, as far it was applicable, and was sanctioned by royal
charters and colonial statues. In 1968, the author William Stoebuck mentions the third theory of
colonial-law reception was indebted to Professor Julius Goebel. In 1968, the author William
Stoebuck mentions that Goebel found based upon Plymouth Colony from 1620 to 1650;
Professor Julius Goebel presented evidence that the law practiced was that of the customary law
that was of the local courts the Colonist had known in England.
Procedure
In 2005, the author Elizabeth Kolsky talks about an English lawyer named Thomas
Babington Macaulay. Thomas Babington was an aspiring lawyer. Thomas Babington Macaulay
argued that the role in front of the British Parliament about the British governance in India
(Kolsky, 2005). In 2005, the author Elizabeth Kolsky mentions the English lawyer ideas about
Running head: TIME TRAVEL INFARCTIONS 6
codification-creating as one great and entire work symmetrical in all parts and pervaded by one
spirit. In 2005, the author Elizabeth Kolsky mentions the goal of her article is to explain why the
root in India was as facilely and quickly as it did. In 2005, the author Elizabeth Kolsky mentions
in her article, the first Code of Criminal Procedure occurred in 1861, secured the legal
superiority of European-born British subjects.
Diversion
I would like to talk about Diversion in the Colonial Period. The only diversion that
happened during the 1500-1600 was the Europeans were able to control the international trade of
Asia by diverting their profits from the trade to Europe (Wilson, 2009). There were
approximately six countries that were considered as Colonialism, and they are as follows:
Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands was the second one, Great Britain, France, and lastly was the
United States (Wilson, 2009). The two liberal colonial governments were as follows: Great
Britain and the United States was the other one (Wilson, 2009). In 2009, the author Dr.
Constance Wilson mentions the two types of government maintained a good record with respect
to the rule of law, civil liberties, political participation, open education, and the last one is
economic opportunity.
Prevention
Prevention was not an option during the Colonial Period. When someone did something
wrong, they received the harshest punishment. To give an educated guess to this important
header; I would have to say prevention of a person committing a crime would have to be the idea
of good education implementations to be in put in place. Generally, there would not be any
Running head: TIME TRAVEL INFARCTIONS 7
education. The person who committed a crime just received their fair form of punishment; even
if they did not like the punishment.
21st Century
Unlike the Colonial Period, the 21st Century is a little stricter when it comes to crimes,
but they are dealt with in a way that it would not be so harsh. In the 21st Century, when a person
commits a crime, they would go through the legal process of the law.
Punishments
Depending on the severity of the crime will decide the appropriate punishment for the
offender. Punishment for an offender who commits a crime will give the option handed down by
the judge to either do some time in home incarceration, for the lesser offense to the more serious
crimes would require someone to spend some time in a correctional facility.
Theories
The theories are based solely on the statutes of each state that sentences a person when
they commit a crime. Theories are different from the time of the Colonial Period. In the 21st
Century is not just theory, it is based on actual evidence.
Procedure
The procedures in the 21st Century when it comes to the laws are dealt with a speedy
process. This procedure may only take a short amount of time based on the actual evidence.

Diversion
Diversion should not be ignored by the criminal justice system and scrutiny (Dingwall,
G., Gillespie, Alisdar, A., 2007). In 2007, the authors of this story, Gavin Dingwall, and Alisdair
A. Gillespie mentions the importance of diversion in the English criminal justice system should
not be underestimated. In 2007, the authors, Gavin Dingwall, and Alisdair A. Gillespie mentions
the juvenile offenders a high proportion of those who offend are not dealt with through the
formal process of prosecution, trial and punishment.
Prevention
Generally, the best way to prevent something like this from happening will require the
proper education of the juvenile offender. By properly educating the juvenile offender will
enable to produce good citizens in society. This is my factual affirmation to this particular
header. If we can prevent, and educate, we will succeed as citizens in society.
