This paper deals with criminal and other disciplinary sanctions imposed场socie-ty on certain categories of offenders which are designed not only to constitute an ap-propriate penalty for the offence committed，but also to treat and resocialise the of-fender. These are sanctions involving deprivation of liberty in the sense that the of-fender is forcibly placed in various kinds of institutions without his or her consent. Inthe 1900s Norway dealt with young offenders by forcibly placing them in reformato-ries, which were subsequently replaced by juvenile prisons. Such sanctions were alsoimposed on alcohol abusers who were repeate柳arrested for drunken offences； thesepersons were placed in workhouses. These special sanctions were repealed in the1970s.cf. sections 2 and 3 below.
