Disciplinary institutions

Disciplinary institutions are organizations or systems that enforce rules and standards of behavior within a society or profession. They can include legal bodies, regulatory agencies, and professional associations. These institutions ensure compliance, address misconduct, and maintain order by applying specific penalties or corrective measures when rules are violated. Examples include courts, police, and ethics committees. Their purpose is to promote accountability, uphold standards, and protect the rights and safety of individuals and the community at large, helping to maintain social cohesion and trust in various fields.
