The United States has partially adopted retributivism in the criminal
justice system in the form of mandatory sentencing requirements.
Critics of retributivism claim that the theory fails to consider
underlying factors that may have contributed to the wrongful act and
therefore punishments that are not proportionate to the crime committed
are frequently given.
