Answer to Question 1

Deterrence: By observing the punishment dished out to convicted criminals, would-be offenders can see that the pains of punishment outweigh the potential benefits of criminal behavior; the perception of future punishments deters crime. Specific deterrence: Experiencing harsh criminal punishments should convince convicted offenders that crime does not pay and recidivism is not in their best interest; the pains of punishment should inhibit future law violations. Incapacitation: Seeks to reduce or eliminate an offender's opportunity to commit future crimes; involves anticipating behavior patterns. Rehabilitation: Purpose is to reduce future criminality by treating and eliminating the underlying causes of crime; also involves predicting future behavior. Diversion: Aimed at sparing nondangerous offenders from the stigma and labeling of a criminal conviction and involvement with the justice process. Retribution: Criminals deserve to be punished for their criminal acts; if the state did not punish people for their misconduct (retribution), victims would be encouraged to seek personal vengeance for their loss (revenge), creating a chaotic society. Equity/restitution: Demand that criminals reimburse society for its loss caused by their crimes. Restoration: Advocates suggest a policy based on restoring the damage caused by crime and creating a system of justice that includes all the parties harmed by the criminal act: the victim, the offender, the community, and society.
