Corrections are the sanctions used to punish criminals. Name the four sanctions and describe what they are.

Answer:

Retribution: punishment serves as an act of revenge for the victim and society. Deterrence: corrections intended to discourage the individual and society from committing future crimes. Rehabilitation: places to reform criminals so they can return to society as law-abiding citizens. Social Protection: this limits the freedom of the offenders, thereby protecting society from the offender committing further acts.
