Corrections refer to one of the components of the criminal justice system that serves to punish and in many instances rehabilitate criminal offenders. Sentences given to offenders range from probation to serving time in prison, with intermediate sanctions including sentences to a halfway house or community corrections program, home confinement, and electronic monitoring. Financial penalties may include fines, forfeiture, and restitution.

In some countries, as well as in Western countries in the past, this also included judicially-ordered corporal punishment. Corrections is the process of trying to correct an individual so that they do not engage in criminal behavior.

Depending on the level of psychological education of the Law Enforcement groups, some underage defendants (of varying ages around the world) can sometimes be tried "as an adult" because their character is considered adult, whatever the rationale is behind this. Historically, many young offenders were put into the corrections industries, both moral and/ or legal, for unscientific treatments. Before the arrival of psychologically effective corrections, the very predictable and expected results arrived: increase of all crimes, criminalization into habitual criminals and "The Eleventh Commandment": Thou Shalt Not Get Caught.
