Why was England so insane? Between 1688 and 1820, the total number of capital crimes in England and Wales grew from about 50 to over 200. You could get hanged as young as 7 for shoplifting. Even when you go to places which are stereotypically seen as harsh or backwards like Rome, Imperial China, Ottoman Empire, Spanish Empire, or Russia, you don't find them executing little children.

>>18457828>Even when you go to places which are stereotypically seen as harsh or backwards like Rome, Imperial China>Since the imperial edict required that the [dictionary] be compiled within five years, errors were inevitable. The scholar-official Wang Xihou (1713–1777) criticized the Kangxi Zidian in the preface of his own dictionary Ziguan (字貫, String of Characters). When the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1725–1796), Kangxi's grandson, was informed of this insult in 1777, he sentenced Wang's entire family to death by the nine familial exterminations, the most extreme form of capital punishment.

>>18458012Familial punishment like this are another beast entirely, usually rare and related to high treason.
>at its height the criminal law included some 220 crimes punishable by death, including "being in the company of Gypsies for one month", "strong evidence of malice in a child aged 7–14 years of age" and "blacking the face or using a disguise whilst committing a crime". Kek wtf
>>18457828In Imperial China if someone was convicted by the imperial law courts of a capital crime they could, and did, pass a death sentence on their entire family and even entire villages.
>>18458016>ok yeah butconcession accepted
>>18458016It's individual punishment vs collective one.In Imperial China, when children were executed, the logic was often the exact opposite: they were being punished precisely because they were not seen as independent from their family. In the Chinese system (specifically under the Nine Familial Exterminations or zhū jiǔ zú), the goal wasn't to punish the child for a crime they committed; it was to remove the root of a treasonous bloodline.In England, the law treated a 7-year-old child as a fully autonomous, rational adult actor who had made a conscious moral choice to undermine the British economy. England operated under a concept called malitia supplet aetatem ("malice makes up for age"). If a prosecutor could prove a child knew that stealing was "wrong": for example, if the child hid the stolen goods or ran away, the court could rule that the child had "adult" malice and be executed in public for it.If the same 7-year-old in Qing Dynasty China stole a bag of rice or a piece of silk, the legal system was significantly more lenient than England’s and spared him from the harshest physical punishments for property crimes, favoring fines or "re-education" through the family.
It's what happens when crime runs rampant in major cities which are also over-crowded to the point that human life is seen as cheap. When there are so many poor people that they must turn to crime to survive, then the death penalty is basically a harsh form of population control.

>>18457837Peak Rome was more developed than 17th century England
>>18458049Because in the view of the English, a child who starts crime early is never going to grow up to be anything but a criminal. England's cities at that time were overrun with robbers and other criminals, and the large number of criminal urchins in these places were seen as simply the larval stage of the more serious violent criminal. Picking pockets and nicking stuff at the market today, robbing people at knife point or beating them senseless in alleys in 10 years or so when they're bigger.There were no institutions to reform such children and people would have considered it a waste of money.
>>18458066more developed at boyfucking maybe
>>18458061posts like this are beyond retarded. OP literally said they exected at the peak 200 people a year, how is that population control in your head?It was meant to scare people from committing crimes and show people that order was being upheld. This only changed after judge Blackstone harshly criticized this logic, saying capital punishment for petty theft was counterproductive as it punished the extraordinarily unlucky criminal not the extraordinarily dangerous criminal, and excessive punishments relative to the severity of the crime undermined the law because it turned criminals into folk heroes who were victims of an unjust system, while their actual victims were forgotten. Which was why the system was reformed in the early 19th century.
>>18457828In practice it was pretty rare for capital punishment to actually be used for most of these offences.
>>18458074I think you need to re-read the op
>>18457828dasterdly britishers are of evil now bharat will have the revenge mmmm yes yes
>>18457828England weeded out its rebellious genes leaving behind people who do what they're told. Now look at England today. The native population is doing what its told while being replaced.
>>18457828>>18458013Literally based tho. Imagine how much safer the modern West would be if the surveillance state were able to punish such crimes like this? Rob a convenience store with a gun? Death. Try to rob the nation through white-collar crime? Death. Attend a “protest” and destroy something? Death.
>>18457828That's not as funny as that one time George got really annoyed at kids noisily playing in front of his city home, so he called up his slave trader buddy and had them all rounded up and sold off to the Americas.
>>18457828chatGPT:>how many people were executed?>During the height of the “Bloody Code” in the 18th century:England and Wales executed roughly 100 people per year on average in the 1700s.>From 1715–1799, the average was about 104 executions per year (98 men and 6 women).>After 1800, executions declined to roughly 60 per year on average.>So across the whole Bloody Code era (roughly 1688–1820), the total number executed was probably in the many thousands, but not hundreds of thousands.>how many people were living then in England and Wales?>The population of England and Wales grew rapidly during that period:> - Around 1700: about 5 to 5.5 million people.> - Around 1801 (the first modern census): about 8.9 million.> - Around 1821: about 12 million.>So during the peak of the Bloody Code, England and Wales typically had somewhere between 6 and 12 million inhabitants depending on the exact year.Sincerely relative to the population size and increase, those were rookie numbers. Today in US there's probably 1 million people that deserve justifiably and objectively instant hanging. I think the true causes can be found in the population surplus in the aftermath of the Industrial Era. Once a good level of life was established, then people stopped popping that many kids, and life became valuable. In the same time the earlier generations produced extra kids, since they weren't dying in the mines or of diseases anymore. Hence we have Charles Dickens speaking about muh poor orphans. And this was happening in the same time when Mark Twain was speaking about muh poor niggers. What we are noticing today is the aftermath after the Digital crash, when computers simplified our lives, starting with 90s-20s, and we have a surplus of people, while the level of life is cozy and we don't make kids anymore. We still have the surplus hence the (((globalists))) try to reduce the population via phony vaccines or degenerate propaganda (it's okay to be gay etc).
>>18458074>OP literally said they exected at the peak 200 people a yearNo he didn't. He said they had 200 different crimes defined as capital crimes, which means there were many, many ways for you to be condemned to death.
>>184589262/2They almost doubled in 100 years (1700-1800) in numbers and then got ~150% increase in 2 decades (1801 - 1821) from 9 million to 12 million people.Kids that were dying due diseases or in mines now they were still alive thanks to the benefits of the Industrial Era. Historically, surplus kids were sent to monasteries, but the retarded bongs didn't recognize this as a societal organization tool useful for population control, or at least, not in the first place. Protestants don't have monasteries or monks. Bongs can only think in materialistic terms, such as a laborer or worker, sometimes even bearing the name of his job, i.e. Smith or Baker.>Many Protestant groups (especially Baptists, Presbyterians, many Evangelicals) do not have monks or monasteries.>The Anglican Communion does have monasteries, monks, nuns, friars, and religious orders. These largely disappeared in England after the 16th-century Reformation under Henry VIII, but many were revived in the 1800s.But this was solved via different means, which were colonization in the Americas, Australia etc. Yes, it's truly insane how dimwit and short-sight were the Bongs while they were building an Empire, I almost starting to believe that the history is all lies and they had nothing to do with it. Take a look at modern history, they destroyed Nazi Germany and with it, the entire Europe, they destroyed Rhodesia and South Africa, and their descendants from the America are over breeding Africans in large numbers via help, aid, welfare and spreading them all over the globe. Or talk to a Bong today. These people are dumb. Their elite, probably of Roman-French origin, is gone, and only the mud hut savages races are left.

You could get hanged as young as 7 for shoplifting. Small island, lots of mouths. Shoplifting was a death sentence because food was limited. You go to a farmer's market and you think that was the majority of humankind? Nooo, you silly goose, foodstuffs & liquids/beverages were precious. That's why nobody cared about children for most of history, especially if they were from the “underclasses”.You don't question why police kill people that lounge at them with knives or other weapons, don't you? You accept it as given, “it's the [victim's] fault”.Or why the protection services act both as a sacrificial body guard and executor of someone or something that tries to kill whoever they protect. “It's the [victim's] fault...”Or why 'powerful' people can rape & kill whoever they want to satisfy their projections of their g od & soul catching, and you – despite being repulsed by it – don't really care about what they're doing, so long as it's not you, correct?>Even when you go to places which are stereotypically seen as harsh or backwards like Rome, Imperial China, Ottoman Empire, Spanish Empire, or Russia, you don't find them executing little children.People have: - sacrificed kids for ritual reasons (it had more to do with anxieties about bad harvests and insufficient foodstuffs), twisted to appear that god's need sacrifices; - people have left their kids in forests to die of hunger or be killed & eaten by wild animals; - burned at the stake for wrongthink or wrongbelief; - abused them as slaves or servants, only to wound up dead or disfigured by longtime servitude I could go on.
>>18458066And Persia was even more so
>>18460342>because food was limitedthis is bullshit, the last famine in England was in 1624. The whole reason why Britain was rapidly urbanizing during the bloody code period was because there was an unprecedented increase in agricultural productivity.
