Probation initially emerged in English criminal law in the Middle Ages. Children and adults alike faced severe punishments for offenses that weren't necessarily very serious. There were several punishments that included branding, flogging, amputation, and execution. For instance, more than 200 crimes—many of which were quite minor infractions—were given the death sentence during King Henry VIII's reign.Parts of English society that were progressive and interested in the advancement of the legal system eventually became uneasy as a result of this sternness. Numerous tactics were created and gradually used in an effort to mitigate these harsh punishments.
