Retributivists believe that people should be punished because they deserve to be held accountable for their actions, particularly when they commit crimes. This perspective emphasizes moral responsibility, asserting that individuals who violate laws should face consequences that reflect the severity of their wrongdoing. Punishment serves to reaffirm societal norms and values, ensuring that justice is served by restoring a moral balance. Ultimately, retributivism focuses on the idea that punishment is justified as a means of delivering justice rather than as a deterrent or for rehabilitation.
