 J. Daryl Charles, “Thoughts on Revenge and Retribution”   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Retributive justice, then, requires that wrongdoers get no more but no less than what is proportionate—or just—to their crimes.
It isolates individuals who endanger the community; it expresses social outrage at morally perverse acts; it controls the extent to which the citizenry is victimized by criminal acts; it rewards the perpetrator proportionately with consequences befitting the crime; and it rehabilitates the offender by forcing him to reflect on the grievous nature of the crime.
O'Donovan prefers to make the helpful distinction between retribution and "retributivism." His affirmation of the moral underpinnings of retributive justice are important in light of the widespread and mistaken notion of forgiveness that exists among both religious and non-religious pacifists.

 SSRN-Just Say No to Retribution by Edward Rubin
It might be argued that a retributive standard responds to the people's morality, and more specifically to their anger at the criminal.
In addition, retributive discourse is likely to exacerbate one of the most serious problems in American criminal justice, which is the over-use of imprisonment, particularly for non-violent offenders.
If retribution means anything, it is that we have some fixed idea about the amount of punishment a particular criminal deserves or should be paid back with, not that punishments should be determined by their relationship to other punishments.

Mark points out that many recent blog posts have argued that retribution -- as opposed to just deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation -- is simply not a legitimate goal of punishment.
Here I've agreed with Mark all along: It seems to me that retribution is a fundamental and entirely morally proper goal of punishment; and deriding it as some atavistic desire for vengeance is a mistake.

 The Flick Filosopher | Horatio Hornblower: Retribution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Picking right up where Mutiny left off, Retribution plunges us into the disastrous aftermath of the battle that saw the Renown run aground and Captain Sawyer (David Warner: Wing Commander, Titanic) removed from duty, at Lieutenant Hornblower's (Ioan Gruffudd: 102 Dalmatians, Solomon and Gaenor) order.
As the officers clean up the literal and figurative mess, Horatio offers a plan to attempt to salvage something of their mission: a surprise attack by land on the Spanish fort, which the Spanish won't be expecting, certainly not hot on the heels of their attack from sea.
So by the end of Retribution -- when someone gets to do one of those "far, far better things" -- we're seeing Buckland as pathetic, Sawyer as tragic, Hobbs as sympathetic, and Horatio as, well, not quite the innocent he had been.
