Administrative punishment and its types
Answers are for parents and teachers.
1
Write the six types of administrative punishment and describe each in one sentence.
Fine — payment of money; taking away — with payment; confiscation — without payment; deprivation of right — temporary; arrest — short-term deprivation of liberty; expulsion — for foreigners.
2
Write a short reflection comparing the positive and negative sides of a fine.
Positive: quick, little harm to society, educational. Negative: may affect rich and poor differently.
3
Why is it important that a person punished administratively can appeal and have a defender?
There is a possibility of error or an unfounded decision; the right of defence ensures justice and prevents abuse by officials.
4
Write three examples of administrative offences in your area and the punishment that might apply.
For example: breaking traffic rules — a fine or loss of the driving right; breaking order in public — a fine; illegal hunting — confiscation and a fine.
5
Explain, linking to the Constitution’s guarantees of personal liberty, why administrative arrest is imposed only by a court.
Personal inviolability and liberty are highest values; restricting them is possible only by law and an independent court’s decision, which protects against arbitrariness.
