Document Summary
Retribution has many parts to it and they don"t all do the same thing. Incorporate creative thinking --come up with own twist using existing arguments to support it. Is retribution worth achieving? (moral philosophical -- making someone suffer bc they deserve it?) Have to say what you will do if and when these purposes clash (if you are also advocating for retribution) Cite properly -- apa + cite page # (see front of book) -- cite original source/article. Eventually all forms of punishment (historical) coalesced into a doctrine of retribution - punish people as they deserve. Enlightenment: human beings are rational -- a rational govt is one that harnesses human beings rationale -- deterrence --- only reason ppl commit crime is bc punishment is not as severe and they are unlikely to be caught. We have rational capacities -- we can devise ways of improving ourselves to be less irrational and dangerous -- gives rise to reform/rehabilitation.
