插图：So far, there are various theories of purpose of criminal punish-ment, which can be generally categorized into three groups: AbsoluteTheory, Relative Theory and Mixed Theory.Absolute Theory includes various arguments in support of retalia-tion, vengeance or revenge, and especially retribution. Relative Theoryrepresents the concept of deterrence, education, and rehabilitation, andit is generally known as general prevention and specific prevention. Mixed Theory is a general term covering all approaches that combinetwo or more theories or hypothesises to establish a purpose of criminalsanction.Absolute Theory has been suffering significant critiques for its se-vere nature and its support of the death penalty and corporal punish-ment, though its core rationale is commonly accepted by modem theo-ries of criminal punishment, which argues that punishment should belimited by the guilt of a criminal, as contained in the principles of pro-portion and guilt. Relative Theory has been appraised for its spirits ofsocial protection and resocialization, which is, to deter an individualfrom committing crime again through imposing criminal punishment（negative aspect of specific prevention）, to educate the individual dur-ing criminal punishment （resocialization） in order to prevent him fromcommitting crime again （positive aspect of specific prevention）, to in-flict criminal punishment upon an individual to deter others from com-mitting crime （negative aspect of general prevention） or to encourageothers in abiding by the law （positive aspect of general prevention ）.However, it is commonly deemed as weakness that Relative Theorydoes not provide limitation for punishment, which could allow a State'sunrestrained power to punish.
