Criminal punishments
Punishment is a measure of state compulsion assigned by judicial judgement. It is imposed on a person who has been found guilty of a crime for the joint purpose of restoring social justice and reforming the wrongdoer’s character in order to prevent the commission of subsequent crimes. In many jurisdictions punishment is categorised in two main types: a) corporal and b) socioeconomic punishment. Corporal punishment includes penalties such as: capital punishment, imprisonment (for life or for a definite period), probation, corrective labour. Socio-economic punishment comprises: confiscation of property, fines, community service, restriction or loss of civic or other rights, public reprimand.
