Document Summary
Retribution: an eye for an eye type of punishment, you need to pay for what you"ve done. Rehabilitation: we impose consequences to hopefully discourage people from repeating bad behavior. Prosecution is done on behalf of the citizen. Teachers are limited but are permitted to use force to restrain a child which is endangering another. The sentence must be proportionate to: gravity of offence, responsibility of offender. Factors such as addictions, past offenses, age, past abuse. Men and people of color are more often subject to the death penalty. Sentences that do not result in a criminal record: alternative measures, absolute, conditional and curative discharges. Sentences that result in a criminal record: suspended sentence- once you do the tasks, you will not receive further sentencing but you will have a record, fine-pay a certain amount of money, incarceration: provincial & federal. A sentence of 2 yrs. -1day can apply to serve their sentence in the community (with many conditions)
