Criminal justice has changed over the years, for example, if we look at many countries in the world today they do not support sentence by death. Mostly, they prefer life sentences to death because death is a more severe penalty and most courts incorporate religion in their judgment. This is in contrast with the previous decades when death was still a penalty in the courts.
On the other hand, the use of strokes has been ruled out in the courts and instead more years behind bars have been added. However, in the earlier years, lawbreakers were given rehabilitation penalties and on top of that, they also received strokes. The strokes were seen as a violation of human rights and hence banned in criminal justice courts.
On the contrary, other things have not changed in the courts. For example, things like working when under rehabilitation have not changed at all.
