Previously, the term penology was used instead of corrections. Penal is defined as pertaining to or imposing punishment and is derived from the Latin term peonalis, meaning "punishment." Penology is simply the study of punishment. However, this term generally included a much broader focus than simply punishment and effectively covered the theories, activities, and operations of carrying out the criminal sentence, whether in a prison or in the community. During the 1950s, the nation's penal system evolved such that the rehabilitation of offenders replaced punishment as its primary objective. This philosophical change affected theory and practice, and the term penology was replaced by the term corrections.
