increase public safety by reducing re-offending. Some offences may be incapacitated
for a period by imprisoning them, or by supervising them closely. 5 factors help our

deterrence, denunciation, and community protection
2) Citizen have had to decide whether offenders such as first-degree murder should be
killed in a gas chamber, imprisoned for life or rehabilitation, and given a second
chance in society

community from community similar offences (because they see the service
consequences of committing the crime). Sanctions can also act as a specific
deterrence. This is when they discourage that offender from committing the same
offence again
