RE: Film Student Spied on a Phone Thief for Weeks
Interesting in the differing ways that people respond to thieves.
I saw some reality-joke show in which the producers left out cell=phones with the intent that people steal them; they then filmed the thieves getting shocked by remote control. It may have been scripted, but it was funny.
There would be some satisfaction in being able to do that in reality. Nobody likes the feeling of being a victim. Retribution is often a satisfying response.
Retribution as a punitive philosophy is overlooked in favor or other punitive modes that don't have great track records of their own; deterrent and rehabilitative modes.
Agreed, from a societal perspective. From the victim's perspective, retribution just 'feels right' :)
Exactly; it feels right because retribution restores a balance between society, offender, and victim.
