Feasibility of Retribution in Cases of Severe Provocation against the Victim

Crime as a behavior that is in conflict with the basic norms of human society and is considered an antisocial, immoral or disruptive action has caused a reaction or response in society and at different times, the type and quality of responses has been evolved. Although the repressive, punitive or vengeful aspect of the response to crime has always prevailed, the deterrent aspect of punishment has always been one of the goals or reasons for formulating or enforcing criminal responses. Attention to deterrence aspect in the purposes of punishment, in religious teachings or laws with religious origin is also clearly considered. Crime prevention seeks to cure the incident before it occurs, and setting up action mechanisms by the community and those in charge to educate, train, empower and improve the quality of life along with preserving the dignity of the citizens is its main agenda.
