Other key purposes: denounce unlawful conduct, remove offenders from society, assist in rehab of offenders, provide reparation to victims, and promote sense of responsibility in offenders.

Underlying assumptions w/ punishment and rehab extremes. Rehab extreme described as soft (liberal), views thatthose committing crimes no different than others.
