amount of freedom because they are considered dangerous and are not trusted not to
escape: Maximum security prisons house the very worst offenders or those who
repeatedly offend.

than in most other prisons because they are not considered dangerous or likely to
escape.

Retributive Theory when people murder they indicate their belief that others should do
these things to them. This is where retributive punishment comes in as it serves to give
them what they seem to be asking for —execution.

EXAMPLE: AN EYE FOR AN EYE A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH

Deterrent Theory the theory that criminal penalties do not just punish
violators, but also discourage other people from committing similar
offenses.

Example
A good example is the death penalty. When a criminal is sentenced to
death for a crime, such a sentence prevents the public from
committing the same or similar crimes.

Preventive Theory separates criminals from society and prevents

them from committing any more crimes in the future by imposing
certain restrictions on them. According to this theory, the offender
needs to be kept in jail for a long time so that he cannot commit the
crime during that period.

Example
The object of this theory is to prevent or disable the offenders from
repeating the offence by giving them punishment. A supporter of
preventive theory is Paton. Examples of the preventive theory of
punishment include death, life imprisonment, forfeiture of property,
etc.

Reformative Theory According to reformative theory, the aim of

punishment should be to transform the culprit through the
individualization approach. It is premised on the humane concept that
a wrongdoer does not simply cease to be a living human being just
because he commits crimes. Individualism is central to the reformative
theory.

Example
Some work or craftsmanship is imposed on the offender during his
period of confinement with the aim that he will start a new life after his
punishment is over.

RECLUSION PERPETUA

MURDER.

After Marcos was deposed in 1986, the newly drafted 1987

Constitution prohibited the death penalty but allowed Congress to
reinstate it "hereafter" for "heinous crimes"; making the Philippines the
first Asian country to abolish capital punishment. The death penalty
was replaced by reclusion perpetua.
