What are the three purposes or aims of imposing punishment for criminal acts?

What will be an ideal response?


Punishing criminals for breaking the law is designed to accomplish three things: (1) punishment acts as a deterrent, since others will see that breaking the law results in punishment; (2) putting dangerous criminals in jail removes them from society, making the community safer; and (3) while in jail, prisoners have the opportunity to be rehabilitated so that they can be productive members of society upon their release.
