 Presentence report  Capital punishment  Aggravating circumstances  Mitigating circumstances

 The final stage of the criminal justice system begins with the sentencing of a guilty defendant by either a judge or a jury.  The sentence is a critical decision in the criminal justice process because it can determine the defendant's fate for years or even for life.

 Most criminal statutes set out basic guidelines for sentencing, but judges generally have considerable say in determining the appropriate sentence for a defendant.  Judges may have several options for sentencing. ◦ suspending the sentence ◦ Probation ◦ Home confinement ◦ restitution ◦ Work release ◦ Imprisonment ◦ death

 There are four general reasons given for punishing convicted defendants—retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, and incapacitation.  Retribution is the idea that punishment should involve some form of payback ("an eye for an eye").  Deterrence is the concept that punishment will discourage others from engaging in future criminal activities.  Rehabilitation is the idea that time in prison will allow the prisoner to change his or her ways and learn how to function as a productive member of society.  Incapacitation removes the individual from society in order to make the community safe from the threat he or she posed.

 Parole is the release of a convicted person from prison before his or her entire sentence has been served.  Parole is a privilege granted to those convicts who seem to have reformed and appear ready to rejoin society.

 Capital punishment, also known as the death penalty, is a highly controversial topic.  The Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of capital punishment under certain circumstances.

 There are several treatment and punishment options available to the government, including halfway houses, mental facilities, and prisons.  Some aspects of the correctional system also focus on preparing the prisoner to re-enter society.
