For a punishment to achieve its objective, it is only necessary that the harm that it inflicts outweighs the benefit that derives from the crime, and into this calculation ought to be factored the certainty of punishment and the loss of the good that the commission of the crime will produce.
Kako bi kazna postigla svoj cilj, potrebno je samo da je šteta koju nanosi teža od zločina, i u ovu računicu treba ubaciti sigurnost kazne i gubitak dobra koje bi počinjenje zločina stvorilo.
