criminal sanctions
Court-imposed consequences
Criminal sanctions are punishments imposed by the legal system on those convicted of crimes.
They range from fines and probation to imprisonment and, in some jurisdictions, execution.
The term emphasizes the formal, state-imposed nature of the penalty: The new legislation introduced stricter criminal sanctions for corporate fraud.
Sanctions may aim at punishment, deterrence, rehabilitation, or some combination.
