Capital punishment has historically been imposed for minor property crimes

Evidence

These so-called honor killings are socially condoned as justifiable or are punished with minor sentences. As evident from the diverse offenses, the proportionality principle has been seriously violated. For example, at one time individuals were hung for horse theft. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 1880

Categorization

• CANDY: A light, tweetable fact: people were hanged for horse theft.
• ADDENDUM: The condoned honor killings feed directly into the immodesty/dress-moral-panic essay’s theme of group-norm surveillance of women.
