Compensatory damages are monetary awards given to a plaintiff to compensate for any harm, including psychological harm, resulting from the defendant's actions or negligence. Punitive damages, on the other hand, are awarded to punish the defendant and to deter future similar conduct. Disciplinary fines are imposed by regulatory agencies for violations of rules or regulations. Restorative justice refers to a philosophy of justice that seeks to repair harm done to victims and communities rather than solely punishing offenders.
