3:29Now PlayingHave you ever pondered what truly drives our desire for justice, especially when focusing on deserving consequences rather than just prevention? This video delves into the critical role accountability plays within the framework of retributive justice.
In this video, we explore:
► Accountability serves as the foundational pillar in retributive justice, directly linking actions to proportionate consequences.
► Retributivism asserts that moral culpability demands a response, aiming to restore moral balance and uphold the law.
► Establishing culpability requires a rigorous process, considering factors like intent, mental state, and degree of harm.
► Historical concepts like 'lex talionis' and legal principles like 'mens rea' highlight the enduring focus on proportional accountability.
► Ultimately, accountability in retribution affirms individual autonomy and the notion that choices carry meaningful, deserved consequences.
