Reform

Reparation

Deterrence

‘’an eye for an eye’’- proportional to the crime - harsher for more serious crimes

rehabilitate the wrong doer so they will not recommit the crime - see that their behaviour was wrong

dissuade someone from wrong doing

repay society for wrong doing -e.g. clean up mess made

Protection

ensure the safety of the public
