It was published by Emperor Joseph I in 1707 and translated into Czech in 1708. At the same time, it kept the original criminal law provisions in force. The new code introduced for the first time the so-called torture, or the law of torture, making torture part of the investigation of crimes, and it was through it that confessions were to be obtained. Inquisitorial proceedings were also introduced for the first time. The supporting source was the Order of the Throat of Charles V, which he published in 1532 under the title Constitutio criminalis Carolina. An important part of the code was the principle of deterrence. The punishment imposed was intended to deter not only the offender by its severity, ...but most importantly to other people in society. Joseph's penal code was in force until 1768, when it was replaced by the new penal code of Empress Maria Theresa.--Provided by Czech LibraryAuthorized Access PointBohemia (Kingdom) Geho milosti Ržimského Cýsare, Vherského a Cžeského Krale ec.
