Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: C

The view that punishment is inflicted on a criminal in order to reform or educate him is the reformative theory of punishment. It treats the criminal as a person who can be improved, and the aim is to change his character. The deterrent theory aims to frighten others and prevent crime, and the retributive theory holds that the wrongdoer deserves punishment for the wrong done. Since the question names reform and education, the answer is the reformative theory. Because it looks to the future improvement of the offender, it differs from both of the other theories named.
