Påföljd

Sanction (påföljd) is the court's collective word for punishment: fines, a conditional sentence, probation or imprisonment. It is the court that decides on the sanction when someone is convicted of a crime. Which sanction is chosen depends, among other things, on the seriousness of the crime and the circumstances of the individual case.
