 On the other hand, my focus was not on why to punish at all, but only why to have reduced sentences, so maybe the retribution theory is not as helpful here as it might be elsewhere.

As I've thought about my paper, I've realized that while it may or may not be an interesting intellectual debate, I don't really propose anything that would change the real world (because as I point out, attempts are punished less despite the MPC, etc). I was thinking on revision I might put in a proposal that attempts at 'low' crimes be punished only by fines or community service, and maybe even make them civil penalties (does this mean the burden can switch to preponderance of the evidence- giving a trade-off to prosecutors? I have to look into it, I don't know how civil penalties work).
