mLine 7:
Line 7: − − Today there are five manin goals of justice. Restitution, retribution, rehabilitation, incapacitation, and deterrance
Reverted edits by JerryR (Talk) to last version by CPalmer
When Moses received the [[Ten Commandments]] from God, along with the other 600 laws, the concept of retribution was cemented in the ancient Jewish understanding. To modern Christians, it may seem harsh, but it was actually better to have "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" which is equal retribution than unregulated vengeance.

The idea of justice an vengeance has predominated in history, and it even remains today in Christian America.
