Law I / What Punishment Is For
Practice question · Put in order

Arrange the moments of punishment in the order they occur, on the standard mixed account.

Hints
  1. Begin with what exists before anyone offends.
  2. Execution is the last of the three.
Show the answer
  1. The statute threatens a penalty for a described conduct
  2. A court imposes a penalty, capped by what the act deserves
  3. The penalty is executed, oriented towards reintegration
Why

Assigning a different aim to each moment is what makes a mixed theory more than an assortment. General prevention justifies having the threat at all; desert limits what any individual may be made to bear; reintegration governs how the sentence is served. Each aim is doing work where its characteristic weakness does not bite.
