Answer:

Punitive damages are intended to punish the wrongdoer and discourage others from engaging in similar conduct in the future.

Step-by-step explanation:

Punitive damages are the damages which are granted to the defendant to punish for the heinous conduct and to set an example for the others intending to commit such a crime in future. Such punishments are not awarded frequently but are only restricted to certain cases, especially under tort law.
