Criminal Punishment
Criminal punishment is one of the form of state fight against crime. Any criminal punishment is always a restriction of the rights of convicted persons. This restriction is a sort of retribution for the crime. The court decides on the most appropriate sentence. The facts of the offence, the circumstances of the offence, previous convictions of a person are taken into account. The more serious an offence is, the stricter a penalty should be.
The responsibility of the court is to impose an exact and just punishment. There are the following basic penalties: deprivation of liberty – imprisonment for a certain period of time or life imprisonment – exile, fines or public censure, community service, driving ban, etc. . Capital punishment is used when an especially grave crime was committed. There are quite a lot of countries where death penalty is prohibited.
Task 1. Answer the following questions:
