Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Incapacitation is the philosophical underpinning in corrections that derives offenders of their liberty and removes them from society. This is done with the belief that by removing offenders from society, they cannot harm others and therefore public safety is increased. This approach is often associated with a "tough on crime" approach to corrections.
