How is retribution better than rehabilitation in the criminal justice system?
Can you explain to me why some people believe retribution is a better approach than rehabilitation in the criminal justice system?
Retribution is based on a "an eye for an eye" philosophy, where the perpetrator is punished with the same level of harm they inflicted on the victim. Proponents argue that it serves as a deterrent and sends a message that breaking the law has consequences. However, opponents argue that it perpetuates a cycle of violence and fails to address the root causes of criminal behavior.
