Thought it might be helpful in our discussion of the Alternatives to imprisonment if I listed some of the goals that I could think of as having been advanced as important in penalties for crime.

Goals of Punishment
- Justice/Fairness

• Reparation
• Revenge
• Rehabilitation/Redemption
• Inducing Regret
• Preventing Future crime by Offender
• Deterrent to Others

If anyone can think of others, please let me know.
