3:10Now PlayingEver wondered about a justice system focused solely on ensuring wrongdoers receive their just deserts, rather than rehabilitation or future deterrence? This video dives deep into the definition and core principles of such an approach.
In this video, you'll discover:
► The precise definition of retributive justice and its backward-looking focus on past offenses.
► How concepts like 'lex talionis' and moral balance underpin this form of justice.
► Key distinctions between retributive justice and other theories like utilitarian and restorative justice.
► The critical role of proportionality in determining appropriate punishment.
► How it upholds a moral framework demanding a response to wrongdoing that reflects the transgression's severity.
