Consequentialism: thinking of how to behave morally, what to do. The one that leads to the best results. Utilitarianism: the right course of action, leads to best results, and by best results we mean making people happier.

Preventions of offenses: particular prevention: applies to delinquent himself, general prevention: applies to all members of community with no exceptions. If more pain then pleasure, will occur from an act, then it will be prevented. If the crime is of a kind calculated to inspire great alarm, you much take power from him. If the crime is less dangerous, reform or intimidate him: peculiar advantage of pecuniary punishments: compensating the injured party while inflicting proportionate suffering on the delinquent.
