[[crime]]s) —either to educate individuals in the understanding of ''consequence'' in general (part of society's [[reward system]]), or to [[human isolation|isolate]] and segregate individuals (incarceration, execution) who appear to be incapable of understanding or else living within the boundaries of such consequence (ie. society).
