TERMS TO PONDER:

 Corrections- branch of the Criminal Justice

System concerned with the custody, supervision
and rehabilitation of criminal offenders.

Penology- study of punishment for crime or of

criminal offenders. It comes from the Latin word
“ POENA” means pain or suffering.
Greek word “POINE” “means penalty or fine”
 Punishment- the redress that the state takes
against a defending member of society that
usually involves pain and suffering.
- the penalty imposed on an offender of a
crime or wrong doing.
- derived from the latin word “PUNIRE”
to inflict pain/punish.
Justification of Punishment: RIDER
1.Retribution- individual vengeance. The
offenders should be punished because they deserve
it.

2.Incapacitation/ Protection/imprisonment-
public will be protected if the offenders is held in
conditions where he cannot harm others.

3. Deterence/ Exemplarity- punishment gives

lesson to offender and to others of the
consequences of crime.
4. Expiation/ Atonement- form of group vengeance
is necessary to appease the offended feelings.

5. Reformation/ Rehabilitation- helping the

prisoner become a law abiding and productive
citizen upon his return to the community.
 Two Types of Punishment

garroting, etc.
 LET`S REMINISCE !!!
1750, Hammurabic Code –oldest harsh/ savage code by

for an eye and tooth for tooth” and it is according to the law
of retaliation during the time of Moses.

complete set of codified laws by King Lipit-Ishtar and

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT !!!!
Mutilation- cutting some parts of the body. It was
another type of corporal punishment use in ancient and
medieval societies.

leather straps or willow branches to heavy,
complicated instruments designed to inflict a
maximum of pain.

knotted cords fastened to a wooden handle. CAT got
its name from the market it left on the body which

Code of Draco- very harsh and cruel code that

used corporal punishment so extensively that it was
said to be written not in ink but by blood.

offender in the name of injured party, clearly
illustrating that during that period, the public interest
and protection of the social order were becoming more
important than individual injury and individual
vengeance.

later augmented by the blood feud, in which the
victim`s family or tribe took revenge on the offender`s
family or tribe.
Burgundian Code- divided into 3 classes.
 The code which specified punishment according to the social
class of offenders dividing them into; noble, middle class, and
lower class and specifying the value of the life of each person
according to the social status.

offender had to pay the specified value in order not to undergo
physical sufferings as penalty.
 An offender who cannot pay will be subjected to the death
penalty.
 This is applied only to the members of the nobility and middle
class.
