Next purpose is rehabilitation, which means that the criminal will change into a completely different person who follows law more obediently. This process takes a time and medical and psychological help. The third purpose of criminal sanctions is deterrence, which is basically creating a fear of punishment within the offenders through tough punishments so that they realize that they have to face these circumstances after committing a crime and thus they will stay away from the crimes.
