Criminal punishment and its types

Criminal punishment is an important and necessary measure to combat crime. It consists in limiting some rights, and sometimes even freedom. The punishable is doomed to deprivation, discomfort, suffering, infringement, because without them punishment would not have the proper effect.

Criminal punishment is a negative reaction of society and the state to any wrongful acts.

Interestingly, the punishment in Russia appeared only in 1919. Till this time such concept did not exist in legislative acts. To date, criminal punishment is considered a measure of state coercion, which is appointed in court.

There are some nuances about which it is necessary to say. Criminal punishment applies only to those people whose guilt in the committed crime is proved. The results of the sentence may vary depending on the gravity of the crime, but in any case, it will be some kind of infringement of rights and restriction. For example, the choice of residence, movement, deprivation of title, property and so on.

Criminal punishment and its types.

There is a whole system of criminal penalties. Consider this system.

1. Criminal punishment can be in the form of a simple fine.
2. It is possible to deprive a person of the right to occupy certain positions or even the right to engage in any profession.
3. You can deprive the title, for example, military, honorary, as well as deprive of state awards.
4. To sentence to compulsory work.
5. To sentence to correctional labor.
6. You can limit the culprit in military service.
7. Confiscate property.
8. Limit freedom.
9. Arrest a person.
10. Send the content to the military unit for discipline training.
11. You can be imprisoned for a certain period.
12. You can also be imprisoned for an indefinite period.
13. The last point is the most terrible - the death penalty.

There is a separate system of punishment for perpetrators who have not reached adulthood. There are a lot less points.

1. Punishment in the form of a fine.
2. Deny the right to engage in any activity.
3. To sentence to compulsory work.
4. To sentence to correctional labor.
5. You can arrest him.
6. You can be imprisoned for a certain period.

It is important to note one point - the court can not give the guilty person a punishment of any other kind, that is, one that is not reflected in the system. As you can see, the list is quite capacious, the types of punishment are different both in content and in the severity of the crime committed. The list begins with a small - fine, and ends with a serious punishment.

It can be said that the system of justice is humane enough. Pay attention, out of thirteen points, the greater part (as many as eight points) does not mean depriving a person of freedom.

Of course, you need to behave correctly, do not violate the law, be a worthy citizen of your country, so as not to feel any of the above criminal penalties. You need to think about your actions, because it happens that one careless step can cross out the rest of your life.
