Imposing sanctions on criminals achieves several positive goals for the state, as the law seeks to impose these penalties in order to achieve the following objectives:
The imposition of punishment for crimes is an expression of the application of the principle of justice and equality in society. Every act is followed by a reaction, and every violation faces punishment, and therefore the punishment is considered the result of an act that violates the laws of the state, and aims to restore balance and achieve justice.
The imposition of punishment is a strong message to society that there are consequences and red lines that must not be exceeded, and when the punishment is carried out on the accused, this is a strong reaction that limits the spread of crimes, as the deterrent penalty is an important factor in reducing crime rates.
The prison period is an opportunity to guide convicted individuals towards better behaviors and direct them towards the path of positive change. Through rehabilitation and awareness programs within prisons, prisoners receive lessons and guidance that help them understand the seriousness of the crime and its negative impact, which helps them to re-ecalite themselves and return to society as useful and respectful individuals. In this way, punishment is an essential part of the criminal justice system, as it contributes to achieving justice and equality, limits the spread of crimes, and works to rehabilitate criminals and prepare them for a better future
