CORRECTIONS-is The Study of The: Methods

CORRECTIONS- is the study of the methods that have been
and are employed for the punishment and deterrence of such

behavior and the study of the efforts to accompany punishment
with measures that are intended to change or correct the
offender.
PENOLOGY- is that part of the science of criminology that

studies the principles of punishment and the management of
prisons, reformatories and other confinement units. The word
“penology” was coined by Francis Lieber. It is also derived from
a Latin word “poenalis” which means “punishment” and from a
Greek word “poene” which means “penalty or fine”.
Beginning of the Correctional Process
Arrest – is defined as the taking of a person into custody in

order that he may be found to answer for the commission of an
offense.
Arrest, How Made:

a) By actual restraint of a person to be arrested;
b) By voluntary submission to the custody of the person
making the arrest.
Method of Arrest by an Officer by Virtue of the Warrant

When making an arrest by virtue of the warrant the officer
shall inform the person to be arrested of the cause of the arrest,
and of the fact that a warrant has been issued for his arrest,
except, when he flees or forcibly resists before the officer has
opportunity to inform him or when the giving of such information
will imperil the arrest. The officer need not have warrant in his
position at the time of the arrest, but after the arrest, if the
person arrested so requires, the warrant shall be known to him
as soon as practicable.
How Arrest by virtue of the warrant is being executed?
The warrant of arrest shall be executed within ten (10)

days from receipt of the office authorized to execute the
warrant. Within ten (10) days the expiration of such period, the
officer to whom it was assigned for execution, shall make a
report to the judge who issued the warrant and, in the case of
his failure to execute the same shall state the reason thereof.
No violence or unnecessary force shall be used in making
arrest, and the person arrested shall not be subject to any
greater restraint than is necessary for his detention. Only
reasonable force shall be used in effecting arrest. Arrest can be
made even if the warrant is not in position of the arresting
officer at the time of the arrest. If the subject would demand for
the warrant you can show to him the warrant when he is under
custody or in detention.
Duration of Warrant of Arrest:

The rules not require a return of the warrant of arrest but
only a report to the judge who issued the warrant of arrest. A
warrant of arrest does not become stale or out of date or
expired after the 10 days period it still remains valid until arrest
is affected or lifted.
Time of Making Arrest:

An arrest may be made on any day and at any time of the
day or night. Unless dictated by grave urgency, an arrest shall
not be carried out in the middle of the night, during Saturdays,
Sundays or legal Holidays, to give the suspect the opportunity
to exercise his right to bail.
Duty of the Arresting Officer:

It shall be the duty of the officer executing the warrant to
arrest the accused and deliver him to the nearest police or jail
without unnecessary delay.
How Warrant of Arrest is secured?
A warrant of arrest can only be obtained in court upon

filing of a criminal charge. The person charged must be
arrested in order that the court may require jurisdiction over the
accused and for purpose of due process in accordance with the
accusation against him. The warrant of arrest issued by the
judge must contain the name of the person to be arrested in
which he is known for. If the warrant of arrest does not contain
the name of the accused, it must contain a clear description
which would reveal the identity of the accused.
The officer making arrest with or without the warrant may

break into to any building or enclosure in which the person to
be arrested is or is reasonably believed to be, on the following
instances, if he refused admittance thereto, after he announced
his authority and purpose. The right to break any building for
effecting arrest is only provided for law enforcer and not private
individuals. The officer making the arrest may also summon
assistance to effect the arrest of the accused or suspect.
