Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Determinate sentences give the convicted criminal a set number of years to be served in prison, reflecting an orientation toward desert (punishment based on a deserving basis), deterrence (discouraging others from committing similar crimes), and equality (everyone gets the same punishment for the same crime). Indeterminate sentences allow for more flexibility in sentencing, while mandatory sentences require a specific punishment for a particular offense. Concurrent sentences refer to serving sentences at the same time rather than consecutively.
