The hook location "infractiondata_postsave" is a good one (assuming you want this code to execute after the infraction is given), and you'll need to make the $userinfo array global to access it. This array will contain information regarding the user receiving the infraction.

You first query looks like it needs some tweaking, but please let me know exactly what you want to accomplish with this code, and I will try to point you in the right direction.

I want to deduct reputation points from the user that is receiving the infraction.

The base amount is 150 points, but each active infraction point (ipoints in users table as far as I know) will apply a 2.5x multiplier. For example, someone with 4 infraction points will receive 1500 points deduction from their reputation column.

I hope that makes sense.
