The general punishments (which can be imposed on anyone subject to the Penal Code) are summary penal fine, fine, conditional imprisonment, community service, and unconditional imprisonment.
Juvenile punishment is a specific sentence for offenders under the age of 18. The special punishments for public officials are warning and dismissal from office. The disciplinary punishments for soldiers are detention, confinement to barracks, disciplinary fine and warning.
A corporation, foundation or other legal entity may be sentenced to a corporate fine.
In these statistics, also a person or entity sentenced to a penalty payment is included in the class "sentenced".
For example parking fines, overload fees, penalty fares in public transport and TV licence inspection fees are not punishments under the Penal Code but administrative fines.
