penalization
Official sanction applied
Penalization is the act of imposing a penalty or disadvantage.
In sports, penalization occurs when rules are broken: The team's penalization cost them the game.
More broadly, it describes any systematic disadvantaging: the penalization of single-income families in the tax code.
The word is slightly more formal than simply saying someone was penalized.
