The principle of combining punishment and education is a very distinctive legal principle in the supervision law and even in the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics."The principle of combining discipline and education"has its origin in the policy of"preventing those who are punished from being punished and treating those who are sick to save them",which was first stipulated in the internal regulations of the Party and then upgraded to the basic principle of the supervision law during the reform of the national supervision system.In the work of discipline inspection and supervision,the principle of combining punishment and education requires that education as a duty precedes punishment,education as an end limits punishment,education as a method is included in punishment,and education as a means complements punishment,and so on,and seeks to realize the unity of"other law"and"self-discipline",the combination of the rule of law and the rule of morality,and the integration of formal justice and substantive rationality.In the future,in the comprehensive use of supervision and discipline"four forms"process,we should continue to grasp the use of the principle of combining punishment and education,through the"punishment of a very small number of people,education of the majority"to effectively play the function of punishment and deterrence,punishment and rescue,education and warning,and to truly realize the organic unity of political effect,disciplinary effect,and social effect.
