Definición

  • Incapacitation refers to physical restrictions used to mitigate or eliminate a person's ability to commit a criminal offense. It is generally recognized as constituting one of the four primary justifications for the use of punishment in criminal justice systems—the other three being deterrence, retribution, and rehabilitation.
