Corrective justice is based on the idea that a wrong action creates a debt or obligation to the victim that needs to be repaid or rectified. This is done by applying a punishment that is in proportion to the severity of the wrong committed. Thus, corrective justice depends on both punishing the wrong-doer and ensuring that the punishment is proportional to the wrong done.
