Which of the following is a punitive measure against cultism ?

The punitive measure against cultism among the given options is "Arrest and prosecution of suspects." This involves law enforcement agencies arresting and bringing to justice individuals suspected of being involved in cultism. It is a punitive measure because it involves punishing those who engage in cult activities and breaking the cycle of violence and intimidation that they perpetrate in society. Counselling and enlightenment in school, a true and sincere religious inculcation, and good parental responsibility and care are preventive measures that can be taken to discourage people from joining cults. While they may help in reducing the number of individuals who join cults, they do not necessarily address the problem of existing cult members who continue to engage in criminal activities.
