美国殖民地时期的新英格兰制定有法律有三个依据,圣经,英国法律和自创。根据新英格兰两个殖民地的几种典型的性犯罪史实,及其实际用刑情况,发现尽管殖民地对于性犯罪有比较严厉的法律,性犯罪案例还是较多。由于当时劳动量大,劳动力缺乏,使得死刑难以实施。但是死刑之外的惩罚很严厉,如鞭刑,烙印,手足枷,戴耻辱标记等。
There are three foundations for the law in New England during the American colonial era, the Bible, English law, and self-creation. According to several historical facts about sexual crimes in two colonies in New England and their actual use of sentences, it is found that there are many cases of sexual crimes even though the colonies have more stringent laws on sexual crimes. Due to the large amount of labor at that time and the lack of labor, it was hard to implement the death penalty. However, punishments outside the death penalty are severe, such as whipping, branding, hand-foot flail, wearing disgrace marks and so on.
