Crime and Punishment in the Medieval times

Why were people punished in the middle ages?

Fines, shaming (being placed in stocks), mutilation (cutting off a part of the body), or death were the most common forms of medieval punishment.

There were no police or anything back in the middle ages so the law enforcement was in the hands of the community.

People in the middle ages were sent to court and or punished for small crimes even like gossiping or stealing, to serious crimes like murder.

Did trying to stop crimes by making people scared of the punishment work?

If there were no punishments to committing crimes, people would be committing crimes everywhere you went

The answer is yes, fear of punishment makes people less likely to commit the crime.
