Who punishes a person who has committed a theft?

In the exam (French)

Qui sanctionne l'auteur d'un vol ?

  1. aThe victim of the theftLa victime du vol
  2. bThe victim’s insurance companyL'assurance de la victime
  3. cThe judge, in courtLe juge, au tribunalCorrect answer
  4. dThe mayor of the communeLe maire de la commune

Why?

It is the justice system that punishes. The police or the gendarmerie looks for and arrests the offender, the public prosecutor decides whether to prosecute, and the court judges. The victim can file a complaint and ask for compensation, but they do not have the right to take justice into their own hands, and their insurance company punishes no one.

Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in French, as shown above.
