Theories of Punishment
RETRIBUTION An eye for an eye
philosophy of justice
-It generally requires harsh
punishment
Just Deserts -philosophy of
punishments, implying that offenders
get what they deserve
-Emphasizes the idea of penal censure
of defendant. Sees the punishment
as being proportional to the
2 Types of Deterrence
1. General deterrence: The offender
is punished to serve as an
example to all others who may be
contemplating a similar offense
2. Specific or Individual deterrence:
To prevent the offender from reoffending
Types Correctional
Model
3. Reintegration Model - is linked to the
structures and goals of community corrections
but has direct impact on prison operations.
Although on offender is confined in prison, that
experience is pointed toward reintegration into
society. This kind of treatment gradually gives
inmates greater freedom and responsibility
during their confinement and move them into a
halfway house, work release programs, or
community correctional center before releasing
them to supervision. Consistent with the
perspective of community corrections, this model
is based on the assumption that it is important
for the offender to maintain or develop ties with
free society the entire focuses this approach is on
What is Punishment?
- is the infliction or imposition of a
penalty as retribution for an offense.
"The penalty inflicted".
- it is the redress that the state takes
against an offending
member of the society that usually
involve pain or suffering.
it is also the penalty imposed on an
offender for a crime or wrongdoing.
Method of Punishment
Justifications of Punishment
1. Retribution The punishment should be provided by
the state whose sanction is violated; to afford the
society or the individual the opportunity of imposing
upon the offender suitable punishment as might be
enforced. Offenders should be punished because they
deserve it.
2. Expiation or Atonement It is punishment in the
form of group vengeance where the purpose is to
appease the offended public or group.
3. Deterrence Punishment gives lesson to the
offender by showing to others what would happen to
them if they violate the law. Punishment is imposed
to warn potential offenders that they cannot afford to
do what the offender has done.

History of Corrections
Twelve Tables of Wood- (451-450 BC)represented the earliest codification of Roman Law.
The influence by the Twelve Tables extended to the
6th century AD when they were largely incorporated
into the Justinian Code.
Benefits of Clergy- provided an escape from
severe punishment of members of clergy such as
ordained clerk, moves and nuns by subjecting them
to the jurisdiction of ecclesiastical courts.
Ecclesiastical punishment were more lenient
because the focus of the Church was on Penance
and Salvation of the soul rather than in the
administering of physical punishment for the
purposes of deterrence or revenge.
Securing Sanctuary- in the 13th century, a criminal
could avoid punishment by claiming refugee in a
church, for a period of forty (40) days at the end of
which time he was compelled to leave the realm by
a road or part assigned to him.
History of Corrections
Ordeal- was the churchs substitute for a trial until
the 13th century, where in guilt or innocence was
determined by the availability of the accused to
come unscratched through dangerous and painful
tests.
The Holy Inquisition- a general label for a
succession of Roman Catholic tribunals changed with
the detection and punishment of heresy. Inquisition
proper did not begin until 1215 AD when the Lateran
council decided that the used of torture was
appropriate which was supplemented by an
extensive system of informers and detailed records
kept of every element in proceedings.
