Answer:

retribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Retribution is the process of inflicting punishment to criminals according to the degree of crime they have committed. The punishment is normally proportional to the offence so that the offender would feel guilty of his/her actions.

The supporters of retribution feel that offenders should be punished according to the nature of the crime they have committed and may sometimes should be inflicted with greater penalty than the true value of the crime.

They believe that this will deter the offender from committing the same crime again as well as act as a deterrent to potential future criminals.
