The four pillars of reformation

The four pillars of reformation are judgement, admonishment, rebuke, and retribution.  Judgement provides the transgressor with the knowledge that a transgression has been perpetrated.  Admonishment provides a priming of the sense of shame that should accompany transgression.  Rebuke provides a strong impression that others disapprove.  And retribution provides a corrective measure that helps to ameliorate the disordered condition that the transgressor is responsible for.

Not all four pillars might be required for a transgression.  The mildest transgressions may only require judgement to effect the desired modification of the transgressor's behaviour.  The willingness of the transgressor to improve is also a factor in reformation.  Some transgressors require the application of more pillars than others for the same transgression.
