Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Penology is the study of the punishment of crime and the rehabilitation and management of criminals through the use of prisons and other methods. A is incorrect because Lex talionis refers to the principle of "an eye for an eye" and is not specific to the study of criminal rehabilitation. B is incorrect because recidivism refers to the tendency for criminals to reoffend, not the study of rehabilitation and prison management. D is incorrect as although restoration can refer to the rehabilitation of criminals, it is not specific to the study of this field. E is also incorrect as treatment ideology is an approach to addressing mental health and substance abuse issues in the criminal justice system, but not directly related to the study of criminal rehabilitation and prison management.
