A criminal sentence refers to the formal legal consequences associated with a conviction.

OBS

Il est important de ne pas confondre les termes «peine criminelle» et «sanction pénale». Peine criminelle fait référence à une décision rendue dans le cadre d'une poursuite criminelle, alors que la sanction pénale peut faire référence soit au paiement d'une somme d'argent, soit à une peine d'emprisonnement.
