A sentence is the punishment imposed by a court after a person is convicted of a crime. Sentences can include imprisonment, conditional sentences (serving time in the community under restrictions), fines, probation, community service, or combinations of these. Judges determine sentences based on Criminal Code provisions, sentencing principles (including deterrence, rehabilitation, and protection of the public), and circumstances of the offence and offender. Sentencing ranges are set by law, with some offences having mandatory minimums. Canada generally emphasizes rehabilitation alongside punishment. Victims may provide impact statements considered during sentencing. Appeals of sentences are possible if they're demonstrably unfit.
