ABSTRACT
The administration of criminal justice is fundamentally based on the idea of "punishment." As history has gone on, it has become clear that it would have been challenging to control both the criminal and barbarous inclinations of the populace. The upkeep of law and order eventually results from the populace's fear of the penalty. The concept of punishing someone is not new; in fact, we are all quite accustomed to the concept. When we were younger, it's likely that our parents punished (or) chastised each of us to learn good manners. As a result, we can draw the conclusion that the way the legal system corrects social behaviour and keeps it from happening again in the future is by punishing offenders for their wrongdoings. But the question that arises is, is there only one type of punishment? How many different types of punishment exist if this is not the case? And what are the various viewpoints on the application of punishment? The methodology is based on secondary data from research done on numerous scientific articles.
