Assignment - help!!

I've been given an assignment - 'Apply the main philosophies/justifications of punishment to a topic' - I've chosen community sentences. The two approaches of punishment is 'consequentialist' and 'retributivist' - how would you answer this? i'm thinking of comparing the two approaches and how they differ when talking about community sentences as it is a more rehabilitative approach compared to retributive - believes in just suffering the punishment for your crime. It's in the form of a poster and i'm struggling with whether i am currently answering the question right! Thank you🙂 #criminology #undergraduate

Hey everyone, I've got an assignment from Home of Dissertations on applying the main philosophies to community sentences. I'm comparing consequentialist and retributivist approaches. Community sentences align more with consequentialist views. Any tips on presenting this in a poster format? Thanks! 🙂 #criminology #undergraduate
