How The 5 Goals Of sentencing should work together in modern society

Modern society is the current state in which an aggregate of people live together, in a more or less ordered community. The use of the word "modern" in the question reflects how the use of the five goals has changed and evolved over time, and how it will continue to change and evolve as time goes by. The current state of society is one in which people are looking for an outlet for their untold anger, and a leader to show them the way. This means crimes are commonplace in today's world. The society has thus had  to change its interpretation of the 5 goals and implemented them in different ways. The usage of all methods "together" is what we now called the law.

The law, as they say is flawed. The old saying of "rules are meant to be broken" seems to be applied by members of modern society in am increasingly alarming rate. The main flaw is the improper application of retribution. Our laws allow for a range, and in some cases a large range for which the accused can be punished. This would mean that we are giving leeway for law breakers. As such, all members of society who are proven guilty of the same type of crime, depending on the degree of it, regardless of race, mental state or gender, should be given the same punishment. This could be applied in conjunction with the idea of incapacitation. People who are guilty of crimes that should not necessarily constitute death should be, as far as possible, incapacitated. This would mean that they would not be able to carry out their daily duties normally, but it would give them a lot more time to think about their crime. Given the current state of technology, the law can cause a temporary incapacitation, or one that can be removed or rectified based on the offender's response to it. This would reduce the problem of having to spend excessive amounts feeding these "criminals."

Deterrence is not something that the people of the modern society are very responsive to. The "rebels" of our society will simply fight against the rules, and cause problems. Thus, the use of deterrence should mostly be in the form of examples, how the people who are guilty of a crime are punished. This would work hand in hand with the previous two applications, since people would be able to see what would happen to them by seeing the incapacitated "criminals." Rehabilitation should be applied in a more aggressive way, since the incapacitated members of society can be integrated back into the society they once were a threat to, and thereby contribute to the deterrence in that their changing will show potential offenders  how they need not act. Restoration can be practiced in conjunction with these, and allow the integration of the "criminals" back into society easy again.

Ultimately, people need to be integrated back into society, and the law should only provide the stepping stones for them to go back into society.
