• Restorative — Focus on repairing harm and reconciling victim, offender, and community.
• Rehabilitative — The aim is to reform the offender so they can rejoin society.
• Deterrence-focused — Punishment exists mainly to discourage future crime.
• Procedural — What matters most is a fair, consistent process for everyone.
