A deterrent is a method of stopping someone or something from doing something. Retribution is causing pain discomfort or unhappiness to the alleged perpetrator of some disagreeable act in order to make your sadistic side feel good. Retribution should not be confused with punishment.
Retribution provides a sense of justice and closure to victims and society by punishing offenders according to the harm they caused. It also serves as a deterrent to potential offenders by demonstrating the consequences of criminal behavior. Additionally, retribution can help maintain social order by upholding the rule of law.
Retribution focuses on punishment for wrongdoing, seeking to inflict suffering or harm on the offender as payback for their actions. Rehabilitation, on the other hand, aims to reform the offender, helping them to address the root causes of their behavior and reintegrate into society as law-abiding citizens.
Retribution is basically the principle of an eye for an eye. According to Ernest Van De Haag it is the paramount reason we should punish. The difference between revenge and retribution is that revenge is emotional, personal, and there is no upper limit (punishment is never enough). On the other hand retribution is rational, delivered by the state, and is just deserts. Try to take a look at the capital punishment debate article on wikipedia. There is a section on retribution that could help you out.
Retribution as a deterrent to crime is a contentious issue. While some argue that the fear of punishment can discourage criminal behavior, evidence suggests that factors like socio-economic conditions and mental health play a more significant role in crime rates. Additionally, overly harsh punitive measures may lead to negative societal outcomes, such as increased recidivism. Ultimately, a balanced approach that includes rehabilitation and prevention may be more effective in reducing crime.
Capital punishment ignores and denies admitting blame by the convict. See "Law and Order Criminal Intent" Season 4, Episode 3 "Want".
