1 janv. 1771 av. J.-C. - Code of Hammurabi
Description:
Hammurabi’s code imposed death penalty for housebreaking, witchcraft, kidnapping, receiving stolen property, and telling lies in court cases. The death penalty was carried out by tying and throwing the person into the river or by burning. Meanwhile, mutilation could be done when a person has unintentionally caused physical damage to a person (e.g., when a doctor has carelessly operated on someone, causing his or her patient’s loss of limbs). Thus, the person who caused the damage could be penalized by cutting his or her hand off.-Celada, A., & Dela Cruz, E.(2019)
