Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three major goals of punishment identified in the text are retribution (punishment as a form of payback or moral condemnation for wrongdoing), deterrence (punishment as a means of discouraging future criminal behavior), and incapacitation (punishment as a way of preventing a person from committing future crimes by removing them from society). Reconstruction is not typically identified as a major goal of punishment, as it refers more to rehabilitation or restoration of the offender rather than punishment itself.
