Summary/Abstract: The article is comparative in terms of the Western (Greece) and eastern (China) approach to punishment in the context of safety and self-improvement. The problem of the relationship of human nature and statutory law or custom as the main areas of discussion is therefore under consideration. In the case of Chinese philosophy one deals in the context of the effectiveness of governance and the ability to provide security and social peace. Presented are the views of Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi and representatives of the Law School. In the case of the Greek one deals with Plato’s views on democracy, freedom and social functioning of man.
