Criminal Law: Theories of Criminal Punishment
Introduction to Criminal Punishment Theories
Various theories have been advanced to justify or explain the goals of criminal punishment, including retribution, deterrence, restraint (or incapacitation), rehabilitation, and restoration. Sometimes punishment advances more than one of these goals. At other times, a punishment may promote one goal and conflict with another.” (1)
