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.

The punishment concept that states the guilty should be punished according to what they deserve, neither more nor less, is known as "retributive justice." This philosophy emphasizes that punishment should be proportionate to the severity of the crime committed, reflecting a moral balance between offense and consequence. Retributive justice seeks to ensure that offenders receive their "just deserts," reinforcing social order and moral accountability.
The retributive theory of punishment holds that individuals who commit crimes deserve to be punished in proportion to the severity of their offenses. This theory emphasizes moral accountability, asserting that punishment is justified as a form of societal revenge or justice rather than as a means of deterring future crime or rehabilitating the offender. Retributivism is often contrasted with utilitarian approaches to punishment, which focus on the overall benefits to society. In essence, it advocates for the idea that justice requires offenders to face consequences that reflect their wrongdoing.
