• PUNISHMENT IS BASED ON SOCIAL CLASSES
• VALUES OF LIFE ACCORDING TO EACH SOCIAL CLASS
 THE PRIMARY SCHOOLS OF
PENOLOGY
1. The Classical School – it maintains the “doctrine of psychological hedonism” or
“free will”. That the individual calculates pleasures and pains in advance of
action and regulates his conduct by the result of his calculations.
2. The Neo-classical School – it maintained that while the classical doctrine is
correct in general, it should be modified in certain details. Since children and
lunatics cannot calculate the differences of pleasures from pain, they should not
be regarded as criminals, hence they should be free from punishment.
3. The Positivist/Italian School – the school that denied individual responsibility
and reflected non-punitive reactions to crime and criminality. It adheres that
crimes, as any other act, is a natural phenomenon. Criminals are considered as
sick individuals who need to be treated by treatment programs rather than
punitive actions against them.
 Ancient Forms of Punishment:
1. Death Penalty – affected by burning, beheading, hanging, breaking
at the wheels, pillory and other forms of medieval executions.
2. Physical Torture – affected by maiming, mutilation, whipping and
other inhumane or barbaric forms of inflicting pain.
3. Social Degradation – putting the offender into shame or
humiliation.
4. Banishment or Exile – the sending or putting away of an offender
which was carried out either by prohibition against coming into a
specified territory such as an island to where the offender has been
removed.
5. Other similar forms of punishment like transportation and slavery.
METHODS OF DEATH PENALTY

GARROTE
• MUSKETRY
Our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, died due to the alleged rebellion to the

• BEHEADING
Apprehended guerillas were beheaded by Samurai Sword at the Japanese
Kempetei Garrison in 1943.
• HANGING
The famous tiger of Malaysia Yamashita died of hanging from 13th footstep
platform in 1946.
• ELECTRIC CHAIR
The Muntinlupa electric chair has claimed more than seventy (70) offenders
convicted of capital offenses since its installation four (4) decades ago.
• LETHAL INJECTION
While the 1987 Constitution abolished death sentence, however, Congress in
1996 passed RA 7659 as amended by RA 8177 that imposes death penalty for heinous
crime by lethal injection
 LETHAL INJECTION
Developed in 1924 by an
anesthesiologist in Nevada. Components of
chemicals used in Lethal Injection are: Non-
lethal Dose/ _______________– a sleep
inducing barbiturate commonly used in
surgery to put the patient asleep; Lethal
Dose/_______________– a drug capable of
paralyzing the muscles;
___________________– capable of stopping
heartbeat within seconds, this is commonly
used in Heart-by-pass operations.
