3. Fine (Financial and as physical service to society)
4. Removal from office
5. Disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit.

Further Explanation of Core 4 Elements of Crime

Person

1. The first element requires is that the act must be committed by a human being. The first essential of a crime is a human being who...

• must be under a legal obligation to act in a particular manner, and should be a fit subject for award of appropriate punishment.

Men’s Rea

The second important essential of a crime is men's rea or evil intent. There can be no crime of any nature without an evil mind. Every crime requires a mental element. Even in the strict or absolute liability, some mental element is required.

Actus Reus (Act or omission)

The actus reus (act or omission) is an essential element of a crime. In other words, some overt act or illegal omission must take place in pursuance of guilty intention. It is said that something in addition to a men's rea is required to produce criminal harm.

The actus reus is constituted by the event and not by the activity which caused that event.

The Injury to another Human being

The injury should be illegally caused by any person in body, mind, reputation, or property.

These elements are fundamental for any crime investigation process, without these mentioned elements crime commission with intent and its degree of crime or nature of crime would become difficult to investigate and reach a conclusion of any case. Therefore, it’s imperative to ignore or give less serious attitude to those elements.
