Retribution

Step-by-step explanation:

An effort to punishing a person as analogous as possible to the nature of the crime.

In this type the offenders punishment is not only based on the crime but also with one's moral blameworthiness and previous criminal record.

This follows a sentencing structure in which the most criminal offenders receive the harsh punishment and lesser criminal receive a less punishment.
