Criminal Justice System – made up of institutions and processes responsible for enforcing criminal statutes. It includes police, courts, and correctional system.
Corrections: sanctions used to punish criminals.

Deterrence – discouraging offenders from committing future crimes
Retribution – type of punishment intended to make criminals pay compensation for their acts. It comes from the idea of “an eye for an eye.”

16. Sanctions serve 4 basic functions:
