Deterrence
The theory of intimidation is a military strategy developed and used during the cold war. There are two forms of intimidation: intimidation by punishment or intimidation by prohibition. Punishment intimidation is a strategy where a government threatens strong retaliation if attacked. Prohibition intimidation is a strategy where a government builds or maintains a defense and intelligence system in order to neutralize or deter the attack.
Retribution
The deprivation of liberty reigned as a common consequence of recognizing the practice of a crime. However, solely retributive justice does not contribute to the defendant's resocialization, nor does it restore the victim's legal status to the stage it was in before suffering from the crime.
Protection
Protecting action or effect; support, help, help: protection of the law.
Zeal for someone or something more fragile: protection of children's rights; protection for beggars.
Reformation
Attention then turns to physical punishments, with an emphasis on the death penalty, and removal of an offender from a territory through banishment.
