PURPOSE OF CRIMINAL LAW ENFORCEMENT


Introduction 

Criminal law, also known as penal law is a term used to refer to different rule bodies in distinct jurisdictions. One common characteristic of these rule bodies is the propensity for distinct and serious judgments as punishments for failing to comply.



Punishments of Criminal Law Violation 

Criminal law is different for two reasons; the failure to put up with its regulations and the uniquely severe possible outcomes. Each offense is comprised of what could be imposed in various jurisdictions for some of the most severe offenses. Physical outcomes could be imposed.


Objectives of Criminal Law Enforcement     

Retribution Individual deterrence is intended at specific criminals. Incapacitation Rehabilitation Restitution


Retribution



COffenders must undergo some kind of suffering. This is the objective most commonly seen. Offenders are considered to not only have caused unfair detriment on others but also to have taken unacceptable upper-hand. Accordingly, an attorney with the help of criminal law is said to put the offenders in an unpleasant disadvantage hence balancing out the scales.


Individual Deterrence is Intended at Specific Criminals.



Individual deterrence is intended at specific criminals. The intention here is to impose adequate punishment so as to discourage offenders from criminal behavior. General deterrence is intended for the general public.


Incapacitation 



This is intended to keep offenders away from the public so as to protect society from their delinquency. Today, courts of law with the help of attorneys use prison sentences to attain this. Banishment and the death penalty also serve a similar purpose.


Restitution 

Generally, restitution is an equitable remedy when the money or property wrongfully in the possession of defendant is traceable (i.e., can be tied to "particular funds or property"). In such a case, restitution comes in the form of a constructive trust or equitable lien.


Rehabilitation 

Courts of law and the attorney use this to transform criminals into useful members of society. Its chief objective is to convince criminals of their wrong doing thus preventing more crimes from occurring.
