Criminal punishment is an important and necessary measure to combat crime. It consists in restricting certain rights, and sometimes even freedom. The accused is condemned to deprivation, discomfort, suffering, infringement, because without them the punishment would not have the proper effect.
Criminal punishment is a negative reaction of society and the state to any wrongful acts.
Interestingly, punishment in Russia appeared only in 1919. Until this time, such a concept did not exist in legislative acts. Today, criminal punishment is considered a measure of state coercion, which is assigned in court.
There are some nuances that should be mentioned. Criminal punishment applies only to those people whose guilt of a crime has been proven. The outcome 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 place of residence, movement, deprivation of rank, property and so on.
Criminal punishment and its types.
There is a whole system of criminal penalties. Consider this system.
- Criminal punishment may be in the form of a simple fine.
- You can deprive a person of the right to occupy some positions or even the right to engage in any profession.
- You can deprive the title, for example, military, honorary, as well as strip state awards.
- Sentence for compulsory work.
- Sentence for correctional labor.
- You can limit the perpetrator of military service.
- Confiscate property.
- Limit freedom.
- Arrest a person.
- Submit for maintenance to a military unit for discipline training.
- You can be imprisoned for a certain period of time.
- You can imprison for an indefinite period.
- The last point is the worst - the death penalty.
There is a separate system of punishments for perpetrators under the age of majority. There are much fewer points.
- Punishment in the form of a fine.
- Deprive of the right to engage in any activity.
- Sentence for compulsory work.
- Sentence for correctional labor.
- You can arrest.
- You can be imprisoned for a certain period of time.
It is important to note one point - the court cannot appoint a guilty person 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 severity of the crime committed. The list starts with a small one - a fine, but ends with a serious punishment.
We can say that the justice system is still quite humane. Please note that of the thirteen points, most (as many as eight points) still do not provide for the deprivation of liberty.
Of course, it is necessary to behave correctly, not to break the law, to 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 so happens that one careless step can cross out all further life.
