2.3 forms of punishment meeting the aims of punishment
community
sentences of the court carried out in community
under the supervision of probation officer, unpaid work, curfew, residency requirement
retribution
restricts their freedom, hi vis jackets are a form of public shaming
enough of a punishment? still lives at home and enjoys many freedoms
deterrence
seeing people do community payback and visible punishment may deter others from turning to crime
public protection
may change persons future behaviour, therefore could be seen to offer some public protection
however still in community
reparation
unpaid work, can include correcting any damage to property, and general unpaid community work is a form of reparation
can't fix trauma
rehabilitation
offers the chance to tackle some of the underlying problems, eg addictions, mental illness
better than short prison sentences for reducing reoffending
34% compared to 64%
financial
retribution
takes away offenders wealth
fines often go unpaid- offender cannot be found or they are uable to pay
quarter of a billion not paid in fines
61% of fines end up being written off- suggests that they aren't always effective as they fail to be fully imposed
deterrence
hoped that having been fined once, a person won't want to be fined again
also there is a threat of possible prison if someone deliberately avoids paying a fine
however, wealthier criminals or corporations might be a le to afford to risk getting caught as they are able to afford the fine
reparation-
offender pays compensation to the victim to make amends
only works if the fine is collected, money cannot make amends for some of harm done
rehabilitation
could teach someone that their money is better spent elsewhre, so learn their lesson, but do fines teach someone how to behave differently or help them, or just take more from them.
