Criminal Law: Theories of Criminal Punishment Retribution
Introduction to Criminal Punishment Retribution
The theory of retribution holds that punishment is imposed on the blameworthy party in order for society to vent its anger toward and exact vengeance upon the criminal. Supporters of this theory look upon punishment not as a tool to deter future crime but as a device for ensuring that offenders pay for past misconduct.” (1)
