In complex societies, law enforcement emphasizes

retribution.

rehabilitation.

punishment of the criminal.

the death penalty.

I think that the best answer is "punishment of the criminal."

it's not retribution, because if it was, we would be destroying the property of people who have destroyed property of others.

It's not the death penalty, since we don't apply it in every case

It's also not rehabilitation, since we don't immediately terminate the punishment for people who repent and show improvement - so the correct answer is "Punishment of the criminal"
