| Jan 9, 2017 at 20:41 | comment | added | Fattie | just FYI a common phrase is "the punishment doesn't fit the crime". | |
| Jan 9, 2017 at 19:57 | comment | added | Canis Lupus | Is it possible that the word you remember is punitive? That word by itself simply means "concerned with punishment" but you may have its meaning confused. Punitive action may be considered severe when no punishment is expected in the first place. But it has know meaning within the spectrum of the degree of punishment. | |

| Jan 9, 2017 at 0:49 | comment | added | haha | Tough on crime is a punitive approach which allows the law to treat criminals harshly. By the way, I guess the word that you can't remember is penal. | |

| Jan 8, 2017 at 4:38 | comment | added | vpn | @tchrist, I've seen people bashed for posting answers that aren't practically perfect. I know that that's why I don't post an answer before commenting it tentatively first, and waiting for the OP to approve it. It may not be what's stated in the rules, but I suspect that for many users, it's necessary to protect themselves from this oft-cruel site. | |
