What are the five purposes of punishment?
Its been answered somewher else on this thread but here goes:
Rehabilitation: to reahbilitate the offender, so they no longer have the trigger that makes them committ crime. eg robbery to pay for drug addiction.
Incapacitation: Isolate offender to protect society for as long he/she is a threat.
Detterance: specific detterance: Punishment so the offender does not want to commit crime anymore.
Genral detterance: showing sociey the punishments so they do not want to committ crime.
Retribution: punishment to fit the crime, usually a custodial punishment
Reintegrativs shaming: come face to face with victim, or their family to feel the guilt, shame and remorse, for crime committed. However this does not work on some "types"
